The 1958 small college football rankings are rankings of college football teams representing smaller college and university teams during the 1958 college football season. The rankings were prepared and published the United Press International (UPI). It was the first year that the UPI compiled small-college rankings. The Associated Press (AP) did not begin publishing small-college rankings until 1960.
The UPI's small-college rankings for 1957 were based on voting by the UPI's board of coaches. Mississippi Southern compiled a perfect 9–0 record and was ranked No. 1 in the final UPI small-college rankings. The Miami Redskins were ranked second.
