The 2018 Romanian Masters was a non-ranking snooker tournament that took place from 14 to 18 March 2018 in Bucharest, Romania. Sanctioned by World Snooker, the tournament was organised by McCann/Thiess Events and McCann Bucharest and was a 16-player invitational event.[1][2]

12 of the world's top 16 players returned to Romania, after Bucharest staged the 2016 European Masters in the 2016/2017 season.

Ryan Day won his third trophy of the 2017/2018 season, beating Stuart Bingham 10–8 in the final.[3]
