The 2018 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Governors' Cup finals was the best-of-7 championship series of the 2018 PBA Governors' Cup, and the conclusion of the conference's playoffs. The Alaska Aces and the Magnolia Hotshots competed for the 18th Governors' Cup championship and the 124th overall championship contested by the league.

Due to the preparations of the Philippines men's national basketball team for the fifth window of the 2019 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers, the start of this finals series started on December 5, 2018; two weeks after the semifinal round finished. ^[1] This also marked Alaska's last finals appearance before their departure from the PBA in 2022.
