The 1998 Monmouth Hawks football team represented Monmouth University in the 1998 NCAA Division I-AA football season as a member of the Northeast Conference (NEC). The Hawks were led by sixth-year head coach Kevin Callahan and played their home games at Kessler Field.

Though they finished atop the conference standings, the Hawks’ poor non-conference record prohibited them from receiving a spot in the postseason.
