Final – best of 11 The 1998 BDO World Darts Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the 1998 Embassy World Professional Darts Championship) was held from 3–11 January 1998 at the Lakeside Country Club in Frimley Green, Surrey.

It saw Dutchman Raymond van Barneveld, the number one seed, win the first of four BDO world titles (and five overall), avenging his defeat by Richie Burnett in the 1995 final by beating him in a decider which went to the final set and a tiebreak. Barneveld became the first top seed to win the world title since his future rival Phil Taylor in 1992, and the second champion from outside the United Kingdom after John Part in 1994.

Defending champion Les Wallace lost in the second round to 1996 champion Steve Beaton.
