The 1958 Washington State Cougars football team was an American football team that represented Washington State College in the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) during the 1958 college football season. In their third season under head coach Jim Sutherland, the Cougars compiled a record and outscored their opponents 199 to 117. In the final year of the PCC, Washington State was 6–2 in league play, runner-up to California.
The Cougars' statistical leaders included Dave Wilson with 641 passing yards, Chuck Morrell with 571 rushing yards, and Gail Cogdill with 479 receiving yards.
Hopeful for a bowl game invitation, either to the Sugar Bowl or the Gator Bowl, a waiver from the other PCC members was required, as the conference allowed only the Rose Bowl bid. USC and UCLA voted against it, ending the Cougars' season.
