2018 Toronto Argonauts season
The 2018 Toronto Argonauts season was the 61st season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 146th season overall. The Argonauts failed to improve upon their 9–9 record from 2017, losing their tenth game of the season to the Calgary Stampeders on September 28. Following their week 17 loss to the BC Lions on October 6, 2018, the Argonauts were the first team eliminated from post-season contention.

This was the second season with Jim Popp as general manager and Marc Trestman as head coach. It was announced the day following the Argonauts 24–9 loss to the Ottawa Redblacks on November 2 that Trestman would be relieved of his coaching duties for the Toronto Argonauts football team, following a 4–14 season with minimal success in Ricky Ray's absence. Ricky Ray was also indecisive about retirement at the end of the 2018 CFL regular season after sustaining a season-ending injury in the Argonauts 41–7 loss to the Calgary Stampeders on June 23 though he ultimately retired prior to the start of the 2019 Toronto Argonauts season.
