2018–19 FC Krasnodar season

The 2018–19 FC Krasnodar season was the eighth successive season that Krasnodar played in the Russian Premier League, the highest tier of association football in Russia. They finished the previous season in 4th place, and as a result of FC Tosno failing to obtain a UEFA licence for their 2018–19 UEFA Europa League Group Stage spot, they qualified directly for the Groups Stage of the UEFA Europa League.
