Montenegro will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2018. The Montenegrin broadcaster Radio i televizija Crne Gore (RTCG) organised the national final Montevizija 2018 in order to select the Montenegrin entry for the 2018 contest in Lisbon, Portugal.

Prior to the 2018 Contest, Montenegro had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest as an independent nation nine times since its first entry in its own right in 2007. The nation's best placing in the contest was thirteenth, which they achieved in 2015 with the song "Adio" performed by Knez. In 2014, Montenegro qualified to the final for the first time since they began participating and have since featured in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest two times up to this point. The nation briefly withdrew from the competition between 2010 and 2011 citing financial difficulties as the reason for their absence. In 2007 and 2008, the Montenegrin entry was selected via the national final MontenegroSong. Since 2009, the broadcaster had opted to internally select both the artist and song that would represent Montenegro. For the selection of the 2018 entry, RTCG opted to return to a national final format.

Montevizija 2018 was the national final organised by RTCG to select Montenegro's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2018. Five entries competed in the televised final, which was held on 17 February 2018. The winner was decided by public vote.

Artists and songwriters were able to submit their song entries from 1 November 2017 to mid December 2017. Songwriters of any nationality were allowed to submit entries, but songs were required to be in Montenegrin language. RTCG received 31 entries. A five-member jury panel evaluated the 31 submitted entries and selected the five finalists. The jury panel that selected the finalists consisted of:

The five finalists were announced on 16 January 2018.

The three acts that advanced from the final round performed their song once again in the superfinal.

The Eurovision Song Contest 2018 will take place at the Altice Arena in Lisbon, Portugal and will consist of two semi-finals on 8 and 10 May and the final on 12 May 2018. According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big 5" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final.
