The 2018 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the provincial women's curling championship for Southern Ontario, was held January 10 to 14 at the Whitby Curling Club in Whitby, Ontario. The winning team represented Ontario at the 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Penticton, British Columbia.

The defending champion Rachel Homan rink from Ottawa represented Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics, and thus will not have the opportunity to defend their provincial crown. Had they not qualified for the Olympics, they still would not have had a chance to defend their title, as they would have represented Team Canada at the 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

The event had a triple knock out format, rather than the traditional round robin event as was done in previous years. The number of qualified teams increased from 8 to 12.

Qualification Process

12 teams qualified from two regional qualifiers (three each), a challenge round (three teams), the winner of the Trophy competition, plus the top two southern Ontario teams in the CTRS standings (as of November 12).^[1]
