The 1998 United States House of Representatives elections were part of the midterm elections held during President Bill Clinton's second term. They were a major disappointment to the Republicans, who were expecting to gain seats due to the embarrassment Clinton suffered during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and the "six-year itch" effect observed in most second-term midterm elections. However, the Republicans lost five seats to the Democrats, but retained a narrow majority in the House. A wave of Republican discontent with Speaker Newt Gingrich prompted him to resign shortly after the election; he was replaced by Congressman Dennis Hastert of Illinois.

Gleichzeitig fanden die Wahlen zum Senat statt, bei denen ein Drittel der Senatoren gewählt wurde. Für die Republikanische Partei war das Ergebnis enttäuschend, da sie nicht den erwarteten Gewinn an Sitzen brachte. Die Republikaner verloren sogar fünf Sitze an die Demokraten, konnten jedoch knapp ihre Mehrheit im Repräsentantenhaus behaupten. In der Vergangenheit waren solche midterm elections insbesondere in der zweiten Amtsperiode eines Präsidenten meist zu Ungunsten der regierenden Partei ausgefallen. Seit 1934 war dies die ersten Wahlen, bei denen eine nicht-regierende Partei in einer midterm election keine Mandat (de)
