The men's pole vault at the 2018 IAAF World Indoor Championships took place on 4 March 2018.

Young newcomers Kurtis Marschall and Emmanouil Karalis cleared personal bests of 5.80m to be among the last contenders.

The medalists were decided by a first attempt clearance at 5.85m, by Piotr Lisek, Sam Kendricks and Renaud Lavillenie.

Six other vaulters had attempts left, many strategically passing to 5.90m after the clearances, but none were able to clear another height.

In fact, only Lavillenie was able to get over 5.90 m (19 ft 4+1⁄4 in) on his second attempt, confirming his win.
