1998 Maryland House of Delegates election

The 1998 Maryland House of Delegates elections were held on November 3, 1998, as part of the 1998 United States elections, including the 1998 Maryland gubernatorial election. All 141 of Maryland's state delegates were up for reelection.

Republicans hoped that gubernatorial nominee Ellen Sauerbrey would provide the party with enough coattails to continue making gains in the Maryland House of Delegates. However, Democrats, buoyed by large turnout and backlash to impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton, picked up a net of six seats from Republicans. It would be the first time the Democratic Party gained seats in the House of Delegates since 1978.
