Survivor Series 1998 was the twelfth annual Survivor Series pay-per-view professional wrestling event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It was held on November 15 1998 at the Kiel Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The official theme song is Deadly Game, by Jim Johnston.

It was headlined with a tournament for the World Wrestling Federation Championship called Deadly Game. It was the first tournament held with the WWF Championship on the line in ten years, the last being at WrestleMania IV. Coincidentally, both tournaments were 14-man tournaments instead of the regular 8 or 16-man tournaments.

This was also the first ever Survivor Series event that did not feature a single Survivor Series style elimination match.
