The 1998 Alaska gubernatorial general election took place on November 3, 1998. The election resulted in a landslide for the Democratic incumbent, Tony Knowles, who had won the 1994 gubernatorial election by only 536 votes.^[1]^[2] Jim Sykes, founder of the Green Party of Alaska, ran on that party's ticket, but Desa Jacobsson later replaced him on the ballot.

Knowles was the first incumbent governor to attain re-election since 1978 and the last until 2022.^[3] As of 2023^[update], this was the last time a Democrat was elected Governor of Alaska.
