The 1998 United States House of Representatives elections in New York were held on November 3, 1998, to elect the 31 United States representatives from the State of New York, one from each of the state's 31 congressional districts. The elections were held concurrently with other elections in the state for U.S. Senate, Governor/Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Comptroller, and various other local offices. Neither of the two major parties in the U.S. congressional delegation from New York gained any seats, meaning that both parties' seat count in the delegation remained steady.

Manton, a Democrat from New York's 7th district; Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York's 9th district who resigned to run for U.S. Senator; Gerald B. H. Solomon, a Republican from New York's 22nd district; and Bill Paxon, a Republican from New York's 27th district. All were replaced by candidates who shared their respective parties.
