The Saskatchewan general election of 1978 was the nineteenth provincial election in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It was held on October 18, 1978, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan.

The New Democratic government of Premier Allan Blakeney was returned for a third consecutive term with an increased majority in the legislature, and a larger share of the popular vote.

The Progressive Conservative Party of Dick Collver continued to increase its share of the popular vote in this election, and won enough seats to become the official opposition to the Blakeney government.

The Liberal Party, under the leadership of Ted Malone, lost all of its 15 seats in the legislature, and more than half the votes it had won in the 1975 election.
