The 1918 Miami Redskins football team was an American football team that represented Miami University as a member of the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) during the 1918 college football season. In its second season under head coach George Rider, Miami compiled a 5–0–1 record (4–0–1 against conference opponents). Miami claims the 1918 conference championship. The team's games against Kentucky, Wooster, and Witteberg were cancelled due to the 1918 flu pandemic.[1]

The season was part of a 27-game unbeaten streak that began in November 1915 and ended in October 1919.[1]
