2017–18 Albanian Cup (Albanian: Kupa e Shqipërisë) is the sixty-sixth season of Albania's annual cup competition. Tirana are the defending champions.
Ties are played in a two-legged format similar to those of European competitions. If the aggregate score is tied after both games, the team with the higher number of away goals advances. If the number of away goals is equal in both games, the match is decided by extra time and a penalty shoot-out, if necessary.
In order to reduce the number of participating teams for the First Round to 32, a preliminary tournament is played. In contrast to the main tournament, the preliminary tournament is held as a single-leg knock-out competition. Matches were played on 6 September 2017 and involved the four best teams from Albanian Second Division.
All 28 teams of the 2017–18 Superliga and First Division entered in this round along with the two qualifiers from the Preliminary Round. The first legs were played on 13 September 2017 and the second legs took place on 27 September 2017.
FK Kukësi advanced to the second round.
Partizani Tiranë advanced to the second round.
KF Skënderbeu advanced to the second round.
Luftëtari advanced to the second round.
KF Teuta advanced to the second round.
