The 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Canada's national women's curling championship, was held from January 27–February 4, 2018 at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton, British Columbia. The winning team represented Canada at the 2018 Ford World Women's Curling Championship held from March 17–25 at the Memorial Gardens in North Bay, Ontario.

The 2018 tournament was the first to use a new 16-team format, featuring representation by all fourteen member associations of Curling Canada, the second-place team from the 2017 tournament (as champion Rachel Homan declined to participate due to her qualification for the 2018 Winter Olympics), and a new wildcard team. As part of this new format, the Bronze medal game was removed from the schedule.[1]
Curling Canada introduced a new 16-team format for both the Tournament of Hearts and Brier for 2018, under which all 14 member associations of Curling Canada were represented in the main field, rather than being limited by a pre-qualifying tournament. The teams were divided into two pools for round robin play, after which the top four teams from each advanced to the Championship Pool. Defending champion Rachel Homan declined to participate as Team Canada in order to prepare for the 2018 Winter Olympics; Michelle Englot's team, who finished as runner-up in the 2017 tournament, participated in her place.[2] The final spot in the tournament was filled by a wildcard play-in game held on the Friday before the tournament.[3]
The rinks of Hollie Duncan (Ontario), Émilia Gagné (Quebec), and Casey Scheidegger (Alberta) made their Scotties debut; although members of Team Ontario had previous experience at the national women's championship, mostly as alternates. Scotties veteran skip Sherry Anderson (Saskatchewan) led a team of Tournament of Hearts rookies.
The teams are listed as follows:[4]
