The 1918–19 season was Manchester City F.C.'s twenty-eighth season of league football.

Owing to the War, once again Manchester City played non-competitive war league football. In the principal tournament they contested the Lancashire Section, while in the four-team subsidiary tournament they contested the Group C of the Lancashire Section.
