State Road 18 in the U.S. State of Indiana is an east–west route in North Central Indiana running from the Illinois border in Benton County almost to the Ohio border, terminating at US 27 in Jay County. State Road 18 passes through the following towns and cities, from west to east:

• Fowler (intersects US 52)
• Brookston (intersects Indiana 43)
• Delphi (concurrent with US 421, Indiana 39 for a few miles on each side of the town, all three concurrent with Indiana 25 through downtown)
• Flora
• Young America
• Galveston (intersects US 35)
• Bennett's Switch
• Wawpecong
• Converse
• Sweetser
• Marion (intersects Interstate 69 Exit 64)
• Montpelier

State Route 18 is mainly a 2 lane road with exception of 4 lane divided highway from Marion to I-69. Marion is the only considerably large city that Route 18 passes through. State Route 18 runs just south of the lakes region, with Lake Shafer, Lake Freeman, Mississinewa Reservoir, and Salamonie Reservoir not too far to the north. Along State Route 18, you will see small farming towns and lots of flat ground.
