The 2018–19 FIS Cross-Country World Cup Finals were the 11th edition of the FIS Cross-Country World Cup Finals, an annual cross-country skiing mini-tour event. The three-day event was held in Quebec City, Canada. It began on 22 March 2019 and concluded on 24 March 2019. It was the final competition round of the 2018–19 FIS Cross-Country World Cup.

Johannes Høsflot Klæbo of Norway and Stina Nilsson of Sweden won the two first stages of the mini-tour; a sprint freestyle and a mass start classic. Alex Harvey ended his skiing career with the fastest time on the third stage freestyle pursuit, which secured him both a World Cup race victory and the second place in the World Cup Final overall standings. Therese Johaug of Norway was the Winner of the Day among the women at the last day of the World Cup season. Johannes Høsflot Klæbo and Stina Nilsson won the overall standings by defending their leading positions on the third stage.
