The 1998 Embassy World Snooker Championship was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 18 April–4 May 1998 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England.
John Higgins won his first World title by defeating defending champion Ken Doherty 18–12 in the final. Doherty became another World Champion, who fell to the Crucible curse and could not defend his first World title.
