The 1957–58 Iraq Central FA First Division Cup was the 10th season of the Iraq Central FA Premier League (the top division of football in Baghdad and its neighbouring cities from 1948 to 1973). It was played as a double-elimination tournament and started on 26 November 1957.[1][2]
Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya Al-Malakiya (now known as Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya) won their first title, after Al-Shorta Select XI withdrew from the replay of the final due to missing several players from their squad through injury with the Iraq Central Football Association refusing to move the game to another date. Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya Al-Malakiya's Edison David was the player of the tournament.[3]

Al-Shorta Select XI withdrew from the replay of the final due to several key players from their squad being unavailable through injury. The Iraq Central Football Association, refusing to move the game to another date, therefore awarded Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya Al-Malakiya a walkover victory and the title.
