The 1898 Toronto Argonauts season was the club's 13th season of organized league competition since its inception in 1873, and its first since suspending operations prior to the 1895 season in what proved to be a three-year dispute with the Ontario Rugby Football Union concerning player-eligibility rules. The reconstructed Argonauts team finished in fourth place in the senior series of the ORFU with six losses, and failed to qualify for the Dominion playoffs.
