The 1898 Buena Vista football team represented Buena Vista College of Storm Lake, Iowa. The team compiled a 2–1 record as an independent.

Against Morningside, Buena Vista scored and went up 6–0, but the referee deemed it after time and negated the score after halftime. After the intermission, Buena Vista's players refused to take the field because the score was announced as 0–0 instead of 6–0 in Buena Vista's favor. The referee ultimately gave the game to Morningside which caused a brawl to ensue.[1]
