The 1958 Kearney State Antelopes football team was an American football team that represented Kearney State College (later renamed University of Nebraska at Kearney) as a member of the Nebraska College Conference (NCC) during the 1958 NAIA football season. In their fourth season under head coach Allen H. Zikmund, the Antelopes compiled a perfect 9–0 record (7–0 against NCC opponents), tied with Chadron State for the NCC championship, and outscored opponents by a total of 389 to 42.[1][2] They ranked eighth in the final NAIA poll.[3]

The 1958 season was one of four perfect seasons in the history of the Kearney football program, along with the 1941, 1956, and 1967 seasons.
