The latest structure function results, as presented at the ICHEP98 conference, are reviewed. A brief introduction to the formalism and the status of global analyses of parton distributions is given. The review focuses on three experimental areas: fixed-target results and their constraints on the parton densities at high x; spin structure and spin parton densities as well as the status of the associated sum rules; HERA results on the dynamics of F2 at low (x,Q2), charm and FL as well as the measurement and interpretation of the high-Q2 neutral and charged current cross-sections.
