The 1958 California Golden Bears football team was an American football team that represented the University of California, Berkeley in the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) during the 1958 college football season. In their second year under head coach Pete Elliott, the Golden Bears compiled a 7–4 record (6–1 in PCC, first), lost to Iowa in the Rose Bowl, and outscored their opponents 207 to 200. Home games were played on campus at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, California.

California's statistical leaders on offense were quarterback Joe Kapp with 649 passing yards and 582 rushing yards, and Jack Hart with 334 receiving yards. Kapp and Hart were also the team's co-captains; Kapp was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

Through 2024, this remains California's most recent Rose Bowl appearance.
