The 1998 Triple J Hottest 100, revealed in January 1999, marked the sixth consecutive annual ranking of the year's most favored tracks as selected by the audience of Australian broadcaster Triple J. A CD collection containing 36 songs was subsequently issued. Additionally, in August 1998, a distinct Hottest 100 of All Time poll took place.

In February 2019, Triple J’s affiliated station Double J organized a "re-vote" focusing on the top 10 songs from 1998.
