The 2018 Lugo Open (officially 2018 World Padel Tour Lugo Open) was the tenth tournament of the sixth season organized by World Padel Tour, the most prestigious padel circuit at the time.

In the women's category, Mapi and Majo Sánchez once again reached the final against Alejandra Salazar and Marta Marrero, marking the third final of 2018 between the two pairs. In the title match, Marrero and Salazar overcame the world number ones, defeating twins Majo and Mapi Sánchez, to claim their second title of the season and become the inaugural women's champions of the Lugo Open.

In the men's category, Alejandro Galán and Matias Diaz reached their second final of the year, where they faced Lucho Capra and Ramiro Moyano, who had unexpectedly made it to the final. In the title match, Díaz and Galán gave their opponents no chance, conceding only four games across the two sets to claim their second title of the season and become the inaugural men's champions in Lugo.

A victory dedicated to Bernardo Salazar
