The following is about the qualification rules and the quota allocation for the short track speed skating at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Countries were assigned quotas based on their performance during the 2017–18 ISU Short Track Speed Skating World Cup.
Each nation was permitted to enter a maximum of five athletes per gender if it qualified a relay team and three if it did not.
Hosts South Korea were guaranteed the full quota of ten athletes.
The first placed racer (per nation) was ranked based on the three best world cup results, out of four, for each race.
