The 1958 New York state election was held on November 4, 1958, to elect the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the State Comptroller, the Attorney General, a judge of the New York Court of Appeals and a U.S. Senator, as well as all members of the New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate.

In January 1957, Jacob K. Javits took his seat in the U.S. Senate and thus vacated the office of New York State Attorney General. On January 9, the New York State Legislature elected Louis J. Lefkowitz to the office for the unexpired term.

Marvin R. Dye had been elected to the Court of Appeals in 1944, thus his 14-year term would expire at the end of the year.

The Socialist Labor state convention met on March 23 and nominated Eric Hass for Governor; John Emanuel for Lieutenant Governor; Milton Herder for State Comptroller; and Stephen Emery for U.S. Senator. The ticket was ruled off the ballot, but Hass and his fellow nominees continued to campaign as write-in candidates.

The "United Independent Socialist Campaign Committee" met on July 17 and selected John T. McManus for Governor; and Dr. Annette T. Rubinstein for Lieutenant Governor.
