General elections were held in Liechtenstein on 23 March 1958. The elections were called ahead of schedule after the Patriotic Union members of the Landtag resigned over a dispute regarding the electoral law. The Progressive Citizens' Party won nine of the 15 seats in the Landtag, but remained in coalition with the Patriotic Union.

Electoral system

The 15 members of the Landtag were elected by open list proportional representation from two constituencies, Oberland with 9 seats and Unterland with 6 seats. Only parties and lists with more than 18% of the votes cast in each constituency were eligible to win seats in the Landtag. The elections was the first to use a majority clause, where the party with the most votes would also have the most seats. Only males were eligible to vote.
