{{2018 Big Ten Conference football standings}}
The 2018 Maryland Terrapins football team represented the University of Maryland during the 2018 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Terrapins played their home games at Maryland Stadium in College Park, Maryland and competed in the East Division of the Big Ten Conference.
Following the death of offensive lineman Jordan McNair during a spring football practice, significant scrutiny was laid on head coach D. J. Durkin and his football staff. Following an investigation, Durkin was suspended and offensive coordinator Matt Canada was named interim coach. Durkin was fired on October 31, despite an internal investigation finding that the team did not have a "toxic culture".
In the Terrapins' first game of the year, they defeated then-No. 23 Texas in a game played at FedExField, home of the Washington Redskins. In the team's home opener two weeks later, the team was upset by Temple. In Big Ten Conference play, the team secured wins against Minnesota, Rutgers, and Illinois. In a late-November game against eventual Big Ten champion Ohio State, Maryland took the Buckeyes to overtime, but lost on an unsuccessful two-point conversion attempt that would have won the game. Maryland finished in fifth in the East Division with a record of 5–7, 3–6 in conference play.
Kasim Hill started at quarterback for the Terrapins until he suffered a torn ACL in the game against Indiana on November 10.{{cite web|url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/terps/bs-sp-kasim-hill-injury-1113-story.html|title=Maryland QB Kasim Hill out with a torn ACL; Tyrrell Pigrome to start vs. No. 10 Ohio State|first=Don|last=Markus|date=November 13, 2018|newspaper=The Baltimore Sun}} Tyrell Pigrome started the remainder of the season. Running back Anthony McFarland Jr. led the team with over 1,000 yards rushing. On defense, linebacker Tre Watson led the Big Ten Conference with five interceptions and was named first team all-conference by the media.

After a tumultuous offseason, Maryland emerged victorious against Texas 34-29 after shaking off a 30+ minute thunder delay. In Matt Canada's debut as interim head coach, Maryland forced three turnovers in the final 6:09 of the game after losing a 24-7 lead. Freshman Jeshaun Jones, in his first career game, completed the trifecta by passing for a touchdown, receiving a touchdown, and rushing for a touchdown. Most notably, the Terrapins paid tribute to the late Jordan McNair by lining up with 10 players on their first offensive play. Maryland waited for a delay of game penalty and Texas declined the penalty in a show of good sportsmanship.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/recap?gameId=401012872|title=Maryland stuns No. 23 Texas 34-29 for interim coach Canada|date=September 3, 2018}}
