The 1977–78 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the eighth staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament. The championship ran from 22 October 1977 to 27 March 1978.
Glen Rovers of Cork were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify after being beaten by St Finbarr's in the 1977 Cork SHC final. Kilruane MacDonagh's of Tipperary and Sixmilebridge of Clare made their championship debut.
The All-Ireland final was played at Semple Stadium in Thurles on 27 March 1978, between St Finbarr's of Cork and Rathnure of Wexford, in what was a first championship meeting between the teams. St Finbarr's won the match by 2–07 to 0–09 and became the third team to win the title twice.
Éamonn Fitzpatrick was the championship's top scorer with 6–06.
