The results of the Hungarian parliamentary election of 1998 are as follows:

The election was a significant defeat for the governing Socialist Party and their coalition allies , the Alliance of Free Democrats and a narrow surprise victory for Viktor Orbán's right-wing Fidesz.The successful breakthrough into parliament by the extreme right-wing Hungarian Justice and Life Party was also a major shock. After the election, Fidesz formed a coalition government the Independent Smallholders Party and Hungarian Democratic Forum.
