The Q58 and Q98 Limited are bus routes that constitute a public transit line operating primarily in Queens, New York City, with its southern terminal on the border with Brooklyn. Both routes are operated by the MTA New York City Transit Authority. Its precursor was a streetcar line that began operation in November 1899. and was known variously as the Flushing–Ridgewood Line, the Corona Avenue Line, and the Fresh Pond Road Line. The route became a bus line in 1949. Limited-stop service on the Q58 route was implemented in 2010 and was replaced with the brand-new Q98 in 2025.

The Q58 and Q98 operate between two major bus/subway hubs: the Ridgewood Terminal on the border of Ridgewood, Queens and Bushwick, Brooklyn; and the Flushing – Main Street terminal in Downtown Flushing, Queens. The Q58 is the busiest bus line in the borough of Queens, and the second busiest in the city, after the M15, with 7.19 million people riding the route in 2024.
