The 2018 U.S. House of Representatives elections in Utah took place on November 6, 2018. Voters elected four candidates to serve in the U.S. House, one from each of the state's four congressional districts. This page focuses on the Republican Party convention and primary election.

On April 21, 2018, a Republican Party convention was held to nominate the Republican candidates who would appear on the general election ballot for each of Utah's four congressional districts. If no candidate received greater than 60 percent of the vote, the top two convention vote-getters would advance to the Republican primary election on June 26, 2018. District 3 was the only district to hold a primary election; the Republican candidates for Districts 1, 2, and 4 were selected at the convention.
