The 1978 Macdonald Brier, the Canadian men's curling championship was held March 5 to 10, 1978 at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, British Columbia.[2] The total attendance for the week was a then-record 63,851 breaking the previous mark set at the 1976 Brier in Regina.[1]

Team Alberta, who was skipped by Mike Chernoff won the Brier tankard by finishing the round robin with a 9–2 record. This was Alberta's thirteenth Brier championship overall. Chernoff's rink would go onto represent Canada in the 1978 Air Canada Silver Broom, the men's world curling championship on home soil in Winnipeg, Manitoba where they lost in the semifinal to Norway.

Nova Scotia's 14–1 six end victory over Manitoba in Draw 6 tied a record set in 1929 for fewest ends played in a single game.[3]
