The 2018–19 Indian Super League playoffs was fifth playoffs series in the Indian Super League, one of the top Indian professional football leagues. The playoffs began in March 2018 and concluded with the final in March 2018 in Mumbai.
The top four teams from the 2018–19 ISL regular season had qualified for the playoffs. The semi-finals took place over two legs while the final was a one-off match at the Mumbai Football Arena.
