The 1958 Stanley Cup Finals was the championship series of the National Hockey League's (NHL) 1957–58 season, and the culmination of the 1958 Stanley Cup playoffs. It was contested between the two-time defending champion Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins in a rematch of the 1957 Finals. The Canadiens, who were appearing in the Finals for the eighth consecutive year, defeated the Bruins in six games for their third straight Cup victory and tenth in the team's history. The Canadiens became the second team in NHL history to three-peat as Stanley Cup champions, joining their archrival Toronto Maple Leafs.

Engraving notes

Every player whose name was engraved on the Stanley Cup in 1957 also appeared on the Cup in 1958, the only time this had occurred in NHL history for repeat champions. In addition, four players' names appeared on the Cup in 1958 that were not present in 1957: Charlie Hodge, Ab MacDonald, Marcel Bonin and Albert Langlois. The only other change was in the name of the owner, as Hartland Molson had taken over the Canadiens from William Northey and Donat Raymond. Thirteen names on the 1958 Cup are those of members of Hockey Hall of Fame: players Jean Beliveau, Bernie Geoffrion, Doug Harvey, Tom Johnson, Dickie Moore, Bert Olmstead, Jacques Plante, Henri Richard and Maurice Richard, and non-players Hartland Molson, Ken Reardon, Frank Selke Sr. and Hector 'Toe' Blake.
