The 1958 Roller Hockey World Cup was the thirteenth roller hockey world cup, organized by the Fédération Internationale de Patinage a Roulettes (now under the name of Fédération Internationale de Roller Sports). It was contested by 10 national teams (all from Europe) and marks the first time that a world championship was not considered a European championship. All the games were played in the city of Porto, in Portugal, the chosen city to host the World Cup.
