The 1958 LPGA Championship was the fourth LPGA Championship, held June 5–8 at Churchill Valley Country Club in Blackridge, Pennsylvania, a suburb east of Pittsburgh.
Mickey Wright, age 23, won the first of her four LPGA Championships, six strokes ahead of runner-up Fay Crocker. It was the first of Wright's thirteen major titles. Defending champion Louise Suggs finished ten strokes back, in a tie for ninth. The field consisted of 27 professionals; a concurrent event for amateurs was also held.
The LPGA Championship was played for a second straight year at Churchill Valley, which hosted its third major the following year, the U.S. Women's Open in 1959. The club closed in 2013.
