Weightlifting at the 1998 Commonwealth Games was the 13th appearance of Weightlifting at the Commonwealth Games. The events were held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 11 to 21 September 1998 and featured contests in eight weight classes.
The weightlifting events were held at the Mines Convention Centre in Selangor. For the third consecutive Games, the format consisted of three gold medals per weight category (snatch, clean and jerk and overall) which had been introduced in 1990. Twenty-four gold medals were therefore available in just eight weight categories.
Australia topped the weightlifting medal table by virtue of winning six gold medals.
