The 1918 The Citadel Bulldogs football team represented The Citadel Academy in the 1918 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season. Harry J. O'Brien served as coach for the third season. The Bulldogs played as members of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association and played home games at College Park Stadium in Hampton Park. The 1918 season was interrupted by World War I and the Spanish flu, resulting in just a three-game schedule for the Bulldogs, all taking place after Armistice Day.[1][2][3][4]
