The 1958 Open Championship was a golf tournament played at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, England. Peter Thomson won his fourth Open Championship title in five years, prevailing in a 36-hole playoff over Dave Thomas.

Christy O'Connor Sr. led after 36-holes with rounds of 67-68, but Thomson retook the lead after a third-round 67. Thomson closed with a 73 to post a 278 total, while Dave Thomas carded a 71 in the final round to tie and force a playoff. O'Connor and Eric Brown finished a shot behind. Thomson led Thomas in the playoff after 18-holes, shooting 68 to Thomas' 69. He widened that advantage by a further three-shots on the second 18-holes, prevailing 139 to 143.
