The 1958 NCAA swimming and diving championships were contested in March 1958 at the Intramural Sports Building at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan at the 22nd annual NCAA-sanctioned swim meet to determine the team and individual national champions of men's collegiate swimming and diving among its member programs in the United States.

The program featured sixteen individual events, fourteen in swimming and two for diving. Teams earned points based on their placement in individual events, with the highest-earning team receiving the national title.

Michigan retained the national title, the Wolverines' second consecutive and eighth overall, after finishing nine points ahead of Yale in the team standings.[1]
