This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 26th International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization, GD 2018, held in Barcelona, Spain, in September 2018.

The 41 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 85 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: planarity variants; upward drawings; RAC drawings; orders; crossings; crossing angles; contact representations; specialized graphs and trees; partially fixed drawings, experiments; orthogonal drawings; realizability; and miscellaneous. The book also contains one invited talk in full paper length and the Graph Drawing contest report.
