The 1898 San Jose State Spartans football team represented State Teachers College at San Jose during the 1898 college football season. In their first and only year under head coach Thad McKay, the Spartans compiled their first undefeated record at 5–0–1, and outscored their opponents by a total of 80 to 17.
