The 1998 Oakland Raiders season was their 39th in franchise history, and 29th in the National Football League (NFL). They improved upon their previous season's output of 4–12, winning eight games. This was the team's fifth consecutive season in which they failed to qualify for the playoffs. Once again, the Raiders failed to make the playoffs despite starting with a 6–2 record.
The season saw the Raiders draft Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson. He made an immediate impact and was named to the Pro Bowl following the season.
