The 2018 America East men's soccer tournament was the 30th edition of the tournament. The tournament decided the America East Conference champion and guaranteed representative into the 2018 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship. The tournament began on November 3 and concluded on November 11.

Two-time defending champions, Albany, were eliminated in the first round by UMass Lowell, meaning there would be a new America East Tournament champion for the first time since 2015. New Hampshire ultimately won the championship, defeating UMBC by a 5-0 scoreline in the final.[1] [2] It was New Hampshire's first America East championship they won, losing the previous four occasions.[3] [4]

New Hampshire was the conference's lone bid into the NCAA Tournament. They hosted Colgate for the chance to play the top overall seed, Wake Forest[5] in the second round.[6] There, New Hampshire lost 1–0 to Colgate.[7] [8]
