The R398 is a Regional Route in South Africa that connects Middelburg with Britstown via Richmond.

Route
The R398 begins in the town centre of Middelburg, Eastern Cape, at a junction with Meintjies Street. East of this junction, it is the R56 road. The R398 begins by heading westwards as Loop street before making a right and left turn to become Richmond Road.

It heads westwards from Middelburg for 107 kilometres, crossing into the Northern Cape, to reach a junction with the N1 national route just east of Richmond. The R398 joins the N1 and they are one road westwards into the town before the R398 becomes its own road northwards just north of the town centre.
