The 2018 WPA World Junior Nine-ball Championships was the 27th hosting of the Junior World Championship in the pool discipline 9-Ball. The event ran from 31 October to 3 November 2018 Moscow, Russia.

Under 19 world champion was Yip Kin Ling from Hong Kong. In the final against his countryman Robbie Capito he won 11–10 against last year's finalist. In the Under 17 age group was won by Mahkeal Parris who won the final against the Norwegian Emil Andre Gangfløt 9–6.
