This is a list of results for the Legislative Council at the 2018 South Australian state election.

The 11 of 22 seats up for election were 4 Liberal, 4 Labor, 1 Green, 1 Conservative and 1 Dignity. The final outcome was 4 Liberal, 4 Labor, 2 SA Best and 1 Green.[4][1][5] Carrying over from the 2014 election were 4 Liberal, 4 Labor, 1 Green, 1 Advance SA, and 1 Conservative; although the Conservative, Dennis Hood, defected to the Liberals nine days after the 2018 state election.[6][7]

The 22 seat upper house composition is therefore 9 Liberal on the government benches, 8 Labor on the opposition benches, and 5 to minor parties on the crossbench, consisting of 2 SA Best, 2 Green, and 1 Advance SA.[4] The government therefore requires at least three additional non-government members to form a majority and carry votes on the floor.[8]
