1958 United States House of Representatives election in Wyoming

The 1958 United States House of Representatives election in Wyoming was held on November 4, 1958. Incumbent Republican Congressman Keith Thomson ran for re-election. He was opposed by Natrona County Attorney Ray Whitaker, the Democratic nominee. As the national mood favored Democrats, Thomson's margin of victory narrowed considerably from 1956, but he still won by a solid margin, receiving 54 percent of the vote to Whitaker's 46 percent.
