The Leyenda de Plata (1998) was professional wrestling tournament produced by the Mexican wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLLl; Spanish "World Wrestling Council") that ran from July 24, 1998, over the course of two of CMLL's Friday night shows in Arena México with the finals on July 31, 1998. The annual Leyenda de Plata tournament is held in honor of lucha libre legend El Santo and is one of CMLL's most important annual tournaments.
The first ever Leyenda de Plata tournament was held to commemorate the 15 year anniversary of El Santo's death in 1983. Unlike later tournaments there was no final match against the previous winner, instead El Santo's son, El Hijo del Santo, faced the winner of the Cibernetico to determine the first winner. Scorpio Jr. won the cibernetico, outlasting Atlantis, Shocker, Olímpico, Pantera, El Felino, Negro Casas, Tony Rivera, La Fiera, Dr. Wagner Jr., Blue Panther, Satánico, Karloff Lagarde Jr., Black Warrior, Último Guerrero and Violencia. Scorpio Jr. defeated El Hijo del Santo by count-out to win the Leyenda de Plata.
