The 1958 Santa Monica Corsairs football team was an American football team that represented Santa Monica City College (now known as Santa Monica College) as a member of the Metropolitan Conference during the 1958 junior college football season. In their third year under head coach Jim Powers, the Corsairs compiled a perfect 10–0 record, won the Metropolitan Conference championship, defeated Northeastern Oklahoma A&M in the Junior Rose Bowl, and outscored all opponents by a total of 389 to 139.

Players included quarterback Pat Young, halfbacks Bernie Coffee and Lloyd Winston, fullback George Pierovich, ends Dave Washington and Leon Cadis, center Ivory Jones, and tackle Marv Marinovich. Winston was named "Player of the Game" in the Junior Rose Bowl[1] and later played for the San Francisco 49ers. Marinovich played for the Oakland Raiders.

Three Santa Monica players were selected as first-team players on the Junior College All-America team: Pat Young at quarterback; Lloyd Winston at halfback; and Dave Washington at end. Ivory Jones was selected as the center on the second team.[2]

The team played its home games at Corsair Field in Santa Monica, California.
