The 2018 Kentucky General Assembly was a meeting of the Kentucky General Assembly, composed of the Kentucky Senate and the Kentucky House of Representatives. It convened in Frankfort on January 2, 2018, and adjourned sine die on April 14, 2018. It was the third regular session of the legislature during the tenure of governor Matt Bevin. The legislature convened again in December 2018 for an extraordinary session.

Republicans maintained their majority following the 2016 election for the senate, while flipping control of the house from the Democratic Party for the first time since the 1919 election.
