The 1998 Haringey Council election took place on 7 May 1998 to elect members of Haringey London Borough Council in London, England. The whole council was up for election and the Labour party stayed in overall control of the council.

Background
Following their landslide victory in the 1994 elections, Labour were defending 57 of the 59 seats on Haringey Council. At these elections the Conservatives successfully defended their two seats in Highgate ward, but failed to regain any others. The Liberal Democrats became the official opposition after winning three seats in Muswell Hill ward, their first ever on Haringey Council. One of these three councillors was Lynne Featherstone, who would go on to become MP for Hornsey and Wood Green.
