The 1958 Wyoming Cowboys football team was an American football team that represented the University of Wyoming as a member of the Skyline Conference during the 1958 college football season. In their second year under head coach Bob Devaney, the Cowboys compiled an 8–3 record (6–1 against Skyline opponents), won the Skyline Conference championship, won the Sun Bowl over Hardin–Simmons, and outscored opponents by a total of 205 to 136. They played their home games at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie, Wyoming.

Utah was defeated in Laramie on November 1, in what was Wyoming's last home game in the month of November for over two decades, until 1979.[1]
