The 2018 Nevada State Controller election was held on November 6, 2018, to elect the Nevada State Controller, concurrently with elections to the United States Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, governor, and other state and local elections. Primary elections were held on June 12, 2018, though both the Republican and Democratic nominees ran uncontested.
Incumbent Republican state controller Ron Knecht ran for re-election to a second term in office, but lost re-election to Democratic public accountant Catherine Byrne. Knecht was the only incumbent statewide executive Republican to lose re-election in 2018, as all other Republicans either won re-election, resigned, or were term-limited.
