The 1958 Chicago Bears season was their 39th regular season completed in the National Football League. The club posted an 8–4 record under the regins of George Halas who took over for Paddy Driscoll, who was fired after a championship game debacle and a subpar season the following year. Halas's team improved to a respectable second place tie.
