The 2018 Offaly Senior Football Championship was the 121st edition of Offaly GAA's premier Gaelic football competition for senior graded clubs in County Offaly, Ireland. Eight teams compete, with the winner representing Offaly in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship.

The championship starts a league stage and progresses to a knockout stage.

Rhode were the defending champions after they defeated Clara in the previous years final, and they successfully defended their title to claim a "3-in-a-row" when defeating Ferbane in the final.

This was Durrow's return to the senior grade after claiming the 2017 Offaly Senior B Football Championship title, however they were relegated back to Senior B for 2019 when suffering relegation at the hands of Durrow.[clarification needed]
