The 1959 All-Pacific Coast football team consists of American football players chosen by the Associated Press (AP) and the United Press International (UPI) as the best college football players by position in the Pacific Coast region during the 1959 NCAA University Division football season.

The 1959 Washington Huskies football team won the Athletic Association of Western Universities championship and was ranked No. 8 in the final AP Poll. Three Washington players received first-team honors: quarterback Bob Schloredt; tackle Kurt Gegner; and guard Chuck Allen.[1][2] Schloredt was also selected by the AP as the first-team quarterback on the 1959 All-America college football team.[3]

USC led all other teams with four first-team selections: end Marlin McKeever; tackles Ron Mix and Dan Ficca; and guard Mike McKeever.[1][2]
