State elections were held in Australia on 6 April 1918. All 46 seats in the South Australian House of Assembly were up for election. The incumbent Liberal Union government led by Premier of South Australia Archibald Peake defeated the opposition Australian Labor Party led by Leader of the Opposition Andrew Kirkpatrick. Each district elected multiple members, with voters casting multiple votes. The Crawford Vaughan Labor government fell in July 1917 after the ALP split over conscription, which was replaced by a Peake Liberal minority government. This was replaced by the Peake Liberal-Nationalist coalition majority government in August 1917.
