1957–58 IHL season

The 1957–58 IHL season was the 13th season of the International Hockey League, a North American minor professional league. Outside of the Louisville Rebels, who relocated from Huntington, the league's teams all remained intact from the previous season.

The season saw the dominant Cincinnati Mohawks win their sixth-straight regular season title only to be upset in the Turner Cup semifinals by Louisville. The playoff loss denied the Mohawks their sixth-straight Turner Cup championship. Meanwhile, in the Turner Cup Finals, the Indianapolis Chiefs defeated the Louisville Rebels 4-games-to-3 in a tight series. Both teams had less wins in the regular season then losses.
