La '''stagione {{NFLS|1998}} dei [[New York Jets]]''' è stata la 29ª della franchigia nella [[National Football League]], la 39ª complessiva.<ref>{{cita news|lingua= en |url= http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyj/1998.htm |titolo= 1998 New York Jets |editore= Pro Football Reference |data= | accesso= 24 maggio 2018 }}</ref> Sotto la guida del capo-allenatore [[Bill Parcells]], la squadra terminò col miglior record della sua storia, 12-4, vincendo il primo titolo di division dal [[New York Jets 1969|1969]]. Tutto questo due anni dopo avere terminato col peggior record della NFL, 1-15. 

I Jets ebbero la possibilità di saltare il primo turno di playoff per la prima volta nella loro storia. Nel divisional round batterono i [[Jacksonville Jaguars 1998|Jacksonville Jaguars]]. Con l'obiettivo di raggiungere il primo [[Super Bowl]] in [[Super Bowl III|trent'anni]] furono sconfitti dai [[Denver Broncos 1998|Denver Broncos]] nella finale della [[American Football Conference|AFC]]. 

I Jets del 1998 sono una delle due sole squadre nella storia della NFL a vincere sette partite durante la stagione regolare contro squadre che avrebbero raggiunto i playoff.<ref>[http://pfref.com/tiny/jHNl9 Pro-Football-Reference.com: In a single season, from 1940 to 2011, in the regular season, team won game, in games against playoff teams only, only in games against teams with winning record for season, sorted by most games in season matching criteria.]</ref> Il [[quarterback]] [[Vinny Testaverde]] disputò una delle migliori stagioni della carriera lanciando 3.256 [[yard]], 29 [[touchdown]] e subì 7 [[intercetto|intercetti]].

La finale della AFC fu l'ultima apparizione dei Jets ai playoff negli anni novanta e fu l'ultima volta che fecero così tanta strada sino al [[New York Jets 2010|2010]].
