1998 U.S. Figure Skating Championships
The 1998 U.S. Figure Skating Championships took place on January 4–11, 1998 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Skaters competed in five disciplines across three levels. The disciplines of the competition were men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, ice dancing, and compulsory figures. The levels of competition were senior, junior, and novice.

The event served to help choose the U.S. teams to the 1998 Winter Olympics and the 1998 World Championships.
