The 2018 UCI Africa Tour was the 15th season of the UCI Africa Tour. The season began on 26 October 2018 with the Tour du Faso and ended on 20 October 2019.

The points leader, based on the cumulative results of previous races, wears the UCI Africa Tour cycling jersey.

Throughout the season, points are awarded to the top finishers of stages within stage races and the final general classification standings of each of the stages races and one-day events. The quality and complexity of a race also determines how many points are awarded to the top finishers: the higher the UCI rating of a race, the more points are awarded. The UCI ratings from highest to lowest are as follows:
