A by-election was held in the Dáil Éireann Dublin North constituency in Ireland on 11 March 1998. It followed the resignation of Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) Ray Burke on 7 October 1997.

The election was won by Seán Ryan of the Labour Party.

The election was notable in that it had the highest number of candidates to ever contest a Dáil by-election. 19 candidates contested, including 9 Independents. The election took 14 counts to declare a winner with 8 candidates getting less than 1% of the first preference vote.

On the same day, a by-election took place in Limerick East, both were the final occasions which Democratic Left contested by-elections.

Michael Kennedy would go on to serve as a TD for the constituency in the future and Clare Daly would go on to serve as a TD and MEP
