The 1988 UK Championship (officially the 1988 Tennent's UK Championship) was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 19 and 27 November 1988 at the Guild Hall in Preston, England. This was the last UK Championship to be sponsored by Tennent's, and for the following two years the championship would be sponsored by StormSeal. The highest break of the tournament was 139 made by David Roe.
Doug Mountjoy won in the final 16–12 against Stephen Hendry, and picked up the £80,000 winners cheque. Mountjoy was 46 years old and remains the oldest winner of the UK Championship.
