The 1957–58 season was the fifty-sixth season in which Dundee competed at a Scottish national level, playing in Division One, where the club would finish in 11th place.[1] Dundee would also compete in both the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup.[2] They would be knocked out in the group stage of the League Cup, and in the third round of the Scottish Cup by Aberdeen. The club would change their sock colours back to navy, cementing their iconic look for the next decade.[3]
