The 1998 Connecticut State Treasurer election took place on November 3, 1998, to elect the Connecticut State Treasurer. Incumbent Republican State Treasurer Paul J. Silvester was appointed to the office by Governor John G. Rowland to complete the term of Chris Burnham, who resigned to work at an investment firm.
Silvester lost election to a full term to Democratic nominee Denise L. Nappier by 2,684 votes, a margin of just 0.3%. As of 2024, this was the last time the State Treasurer of Connecticut changed partisan control.
