General elections were held in Luxembourg on 14 October 2018. All 60 seats of the Chamber of Deputies were renewed.

The incumbent Bettel government was made up of a coalition of the Democratic Party (DP), the Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party (LSAP) and The Greens. The largest party in Parliament, the Christian Social People's Party (CSV), was in the opposition.

The 2018 election saw a decline in vote share and seats for the three traditionally dominant parties — the CSV, LSAP and DP — at the benefit of smaller parties, particularly the Pirate Party, which entered parliament for the first time, and the Greens, which achieved their best ever electoral result with 9 seats. This latter performance allowed for Bettel's governing coalition to obtain a narrow majority of 31 seats and remain in place with minor changes in government composition, including the appointment of the Greens' Félix Braz as Deputy Prime Minister alongside Etienne Schneider.
