Hurricane Helene was the strongest hurricane in the 1958 Atlantic hurricane season, reaching peak winds of 135 miles per hour (217 km/h) and tied with Hurricane Ilsa as the strongest tropical cyclone of the season.

Damage amounted to US$11 million ($72 million in 2005 USD), making Helene the costliest storm of the season.
