Dancing with the Stars (Australian TV series) season 18

The eighteenth season of the Australian Dancing with the Stars, also known as Dancing with the Stars: All Stars, debuted on 11 April 2021.

Following the conclusion of the seventeenth season, it was announced that the show would not return for another season on Network 10. However, in December 2020, Seven announced that the channel had regained the rights to the series, and would be bringing the show back with an All-Stars edition in 2021. For the first time in the show's history, the series was pre-recorded at the ICC in Sydney in March 2021 instead of aired live. The series also aired nightly instead of weekly.

Daryl Somers and Sonia Kruger, who hosted the show from its inception in 2004, until 2007 and 2011 respectively, replaced Grant Denyer and Amanda Keller as hosts. Meanwhile, original judges Todd McKenney, Paul Mercurio, Helen Richey, and Mark Wilson replaced Sharna Burgess, Craig Revel Horwood, and Tristan MacManus on the judging panel.
