Not from the manufacturer. Unless a previous owner installed an inline one, the only fuel filter is the one integrated with the fuel pump module inside the fuel tank, which is not serviceable. Replacing the filter requires replacing the entire module; not cheap, and not easy.

Update: 'Not cheap' is a relative term. I found them online for between $148 and $250 in a ten second search. You'd probably get one even cheaper on e-bay. But if you are asking about the fuel filter, you are probably experiencing hard starts, low fuel rail pressure after vehicle sits over nights, and/or sluggish performance/stalling. It's a '98, and you are well past your life expectancy on that fuel pump assembly. It's easy, unlike what my partner above thinks. I have written some really good posts on this site about replacing the durango fuel pump. Search 'em. Just keep the tank as empty as possible before you start. These 'in tank' are actually alot easier than most of the engine mounted ones of the '70's! I have replaced mine ('99 Durango) twice (200k miles), and the second one took 45 minutes (I did the first one blind).

Don't fear the fuel pump!

Hey, but confirm it's bad by doing standard fuel rail pressure checks. They usually fail by not holding the pressure after a peroid of time. Check the pressure when running. Then after shutting it off. Then the next morning. The pressure check valve is usually the first thing to go.
