The 1958–59 Kansas State Wildcats men's basketball team represented Kansas State University as a member of the Big 8 Conference during the 1958–59 NCAA University Division men's basketball season. The head coach was Tex Winter, innovator of the Triangle offense and future member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, who was in his sixth year at the helm.
