The 1958–59 season was the 60th season of competitive league football in the history of English football club Wolverhampton Wanderers. They played in the First Division, then the highest level of English football, for a 22nd consecutive year.

The season was a major success as the club won the League championship for a third and final time, successfully defending their title they already held. For a second consecutive season they scored over 100 league goals. They also participated in European competition for the first time in their history.

Wolves achieved the double over local rivals Aston Villa, part of a run of seven between 1957 and 1960.[1][2]
