The 2008 Masters of Curling was held January 23–27, 2008 at the Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It was the third Grand Slam event of the 2007-08 curling season.

Glenn Howard's rink won their second straight Masters tournament, defeating Kevin Koe's rink in the final. Howard's rink won $C24,000 and the total purse of the event was $100,000.
