The 1998 San Jose mayoral election was held on June 2 and November 3, 1998, to elect the Mayor of San Jose, California. It saw the election of Ron Gonzales.
Incumbent mayor Susan Hammer was term limited.
Because no candidate managed to receive a majority of the vote in the initial round of the election, a runoff election was held between the first round's top-two finishers.
