The 1998 season was the Baltimore Ravens' third season in the National Football League (NFL) and the last of Ted Marchibroda's three-year tenure as head coach of the organization. This was the Ravens' first year playing at Ravens Stadium at Camden Yards (now known as M&T Bank Stadium).

The season also included a November 29 visit from the city's former team, the Colts, for the first time since their controversial relocation in 1984.
