U.S. Route 98 (US 98) is an east-west United States highway that runs from western Mississippi to southern Florida. It was established in 1933 as a route between Pensacola, Florida and Apalachicola, Florida, and has since been extended eastward across the Florida Peninsula and westward into Mississippi. It runs along much of the Gulf Coast between Mobile, Alabama and Crystal River, Florida, including extensive sections closely following the coast eastward from the Florida-Alabama state line to St. Marks, Florida.

As of 2005, the highway's western terminus is near Washington, Mississippi, at US 61. Its eastern terminus is Palm Beach, Florida, at State Road A1A.
