The 1998 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships were contested June 3−6 at University at Buffalo Stadium at the University at Buffalo in Buffalo, New York in order to determine the individual and team national champions of men's and women's collegiate Division I outdoor track and field events in the United States.

These were the 77th annual men's championships and the 17th annual women's championships. This was the Bulls' first time hosting the event.

For the seventh consecutive year, Arkansas topped the men's team standings, finishing seven and a half points ahead of Stanford. It was the seventh of eight consecutive titles for the Razorbacks and their eighth overall.

Texas finished atop the women's team standings for the first time since 1986, claiming their second title in program history. This was the first title since 1986 not claimed by LSU, snapping their streak of eleven straight national titles. The 1986 championship was also the last event hosted by Indiana.
