The men's triple jump at the 2018 IAAF World Indoor Championships took place on 3 March 2018.{{cite news|url=http://www.iaaf.org/competitions/iaaf-world-indoor-championships/iaaf-world-indoor-championships-6019/timetable/bydiscipline/men/triple-jump |title=IAAF World Indoor Championships Timetable |access-date=March 2, 2018 |work=IAAF}}[https://media.aws.iaaf.org/competitiondocuments/pdf/6019/AT-TJ-M-f----.SL2.pdf Start list]

The winning margin was 2 cm which as of July 2024 remains the narrowest winning margin in the men's triple jump at these championships.

Summary

The fifteen athletes went directly to the final. Veteran Nelson Évora was the only man to jump beyond 17 metres in the first round, his 17.14m taking the lead. Alexis Copello took the lead temporarily in the second round with 17.17 m, surpassed near the end of the round by Almir dos Santos' 17.22 m. Defending champion, Dong Bin's 16.84 m in the round barely got him into the finals, but it was his best of the day. Returning silver medalist Max Heß didn't make the finals, his only mark at 16.47 m in the third round. At the end of that round, Évora improved upon his own ten-year-old national record with a 17.40 m to take back the lead. After the preliminary rounds, two-time Olympic silver medalist Will Claye found himself in fifth place. On his fourth attempt, he rectified that by jumping the {{T&Fcalc|17.43}} winner. In the fifth round, dos Santos got off a 17.41 m to squeeze ahead of Évora to take silver.
