The women's javelin at the 1998 European Athletics Championships was held on August 18 and 19, 1998 in the Népstadion in the Hungarian capital, Budapest .
The old spear was thrown here for the last time at a major international championship. From 1999 a throwing device with a center of gravity shifted further forward was used, which left clearer impact marks. The distances achieved with it were also shorter than with the previous spear.
European champion was the German World Cup third in 1997 Tanja Damaske . The Russian Tatyana Schikolenko won the silver medal. Bronze went to Mikaela Ingberg, who was third in the Finnish World Cup in 1995 .

The existing EM record was not set at these European championships and was not improved. The spear, which was used from 1999 onwards, with a focus further forward, resulted in new spear throwing records after these European championships.
