General elections were held in Denmark on 11 March 1998.<ref name=DN>Dieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) Elections in Europe: A data handbook, p525 Template:ISBN</ref> Although the centre-right parties led by Venstre had been expected to win, the Social Democratic Party-led government of Poul Nyrup Rasmussen remained in power in a very close vote that required several recounts.
Venstre leader Uffe Ellemann-Jensen resigned as party leader a few days after the election. The new Danish People's Party made a successful electoral debut. Voter turnout was 85.9% in Denmark proper, 66.1% in the Faroe Islands and 63.2% in Greenland.<ref name=NS>Nohlen & Stöver, p549</ref>
