The1958 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season was the tenthF.I.M.Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix season. The season consisted of seven Grand Prix races in five classes: 500cc, 350cc, 250cc, 125cc and Sidecars 500cc. It began on 6 June, withIsle of Man TT and ended withNations Grand Prix inItaly on 14 September.

At the end of the 1957 season,Gilera,Mondial,Moto Guzzi andMV Agusta announced a multilateral withdrawal from GP racing, due to economic reasons and rising public pressure due to the large amount of fatal motorsport accidents occurring in Italy during the previous years.^[1] MV Agusta reverted their decision several days later. This situation left reigning 500cc championLibero Liberati and reigning 250cc championCecil Sandford without rides for 1958.^[2][3]

A major technical change for 1958 was the ban of dustbin fairings - streamlined bodywork that covered front wheels - in all classes. They were used by most entrants by the end of 1957, includingprivateers. As of 2023, the rule is still in place inMotoGP.^[4]
