The CMLL International Gran Prix (1998) was a lucha libre, or professional wrestling, tournament produced and scripted by the Mexican professional wrestling promoter Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL; "World Wrestling Council" in Spanish) which took place on August 14, 1998 in Arena México, Mexico City, CMLL's main venue. The 1998 International Gran Prix was the fifth time CMLL has held an International Gran Prix tournament since 1994. All International Gran Prix tournaments have been a one-night tournament, always as part of CMLL's Friday night CMLL Super Viernes shows.
The fifth International Gran Prix was a one night, 16-man single elimination tournament consisting of Mexican natives and a number of foreign wrestlers, some of which worked for CMLL on a regular basis (such as The Headhunters) and others who were invited specially for the tournament (such as Ricky Santana). The final match saw Rayo de Jalisco Jr. defeat Apolo Dantés to win the International Gran Prix, making Rayo de Jalisco Jr. the first person to win the Gran Prix twice; having previously won it in 1994.
