The Campeonato Brasileiro Série C 1988, known as the Divisão de Acesso,^[1] was a football series played from 22 October to 18 December 1988. It was the third level of the Brazilian National League. The competition had 43 clubs, and two of them were originally promoted to Série B.

In 1989, the Brazilian Football Confederation declared that the 1988 Série C was a deficitary tournament, deciding to extinguish it and allowing 96 teams in the 1989 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B.^[1]
