The 2018 United States Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Pirelli 2018 United States Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on October 21, 2018, at the Circuit of the Americas near Austin, Texas. It served as the eighteenth round of the 2018 Formula One World Championship and marked the forty-eighth running of the United States Grand Prix, the fortieth time that the race ran as a World Championship event, and the seventh time that it was held at this circuit.

Kimi Räikkönen won the race after starting from second place on the grid, earning his first Grand Prix win since the 2013 Australian Grand Prix and ending a record 114-race winless streak.[a] It was his first victory with Ferrari since the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix, as well as the team's first win in the United States since 2006. The race would be the final victory of Räikkönen's F1 career, and was Ferrari's most recent win in the United States until the 2024 United States Grand Prix.[4]
