The 1998 United States Figure Skating Championships were the United States Figure Skating Championships of the 1997–98 figure skating season. They were a national championship to determine the national champions of the United States.

Aside from determining the national champions, the event also served to help choose the U.S. teams to the 1998 World Figure Skating Championships and the 1998 Winter Olympics. The 1998 World Junior Figure Skating Championships had been held prior to the national championships and so the World Juniors team had been chosen at a World Juniors selection competition earlier in the year.

Skaters competed in five disciplines across three levels. The disciplines of the competition were men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, ice dancing, and compulsory figures. The levels of competition were Senior, Junior, and Novice. Medals were awarded in four colors: gold (first), silver (second), bronze (third), and pewter (fourth). This was the penultimate year of compulsory figures being competed at the U.S. Championships. The novice competitors skated one figure, the juniors and seniors skated three.

The 1998 Championships took place on January 4–11, 1998 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
