The 2018 LET Access Series was a series of professional women's golf tournaments held from April through November 2018 across Europe. The LET Access Series is the second-tier women's professional golf tour in Europe and is the official developmental tour of the Ladies European Tour.{{cite web |url=https://letaccess.com/about-letas/ |title=About LET Access Series |publisher=Ladies European Tour|accessdate=14 July 2020}}

The Jabra Ladies Open, held at the Evian Resort Golf Club in France and since 2014 the European qualifying competition for the Evian Championship, became the tour's first dual-ranking event with the LET.

The Order of Merit was won by Emma Nilsson, who in the process also became the first player to secure 4 career titles on the tour.
