The 2018 U Sports Men's Volleyball Championship was held from March 16 to March 18, 2018, in Hamilton, Ontario, to determine a national champion for the 2017–18 U Sports men's volleyball season. The tournament was played at Burridge Gymnasium on the campus of McMaster University. It was the fifth time that McMaster had hosted the tournament and the second time in three years. This was the last tournament to feature an Atlantic University Sport champion as that conference withdrew from men's volleyball competition beginning with the 2018–19 season.
The third-seeded UBC Thunderbirds defeated the two-time defending champion Trinity Western Spartans as the Thunderbirds won the fourth national championship in program history and their first since 1983.
