The 1978 NCAA Men's Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships were contested June 1−3 at the 56th annual NCAA-sanctioned track meet to determine the individual and team national champions of men's collegiate Division I outdoor track and field events in the United States.

This year's meet was hosted by the University of Oregon at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.

UCLA and UTEP, each with 50 points, tied atop the team standings and were declared co-national champions; it was the Bruins' sixth title and the Miners' second.

The USC Trojans track and field team originally won the men's team title with 59 points. However, in June 1980 the title was vacated after their runner Billy Mullins was found to be ineligible. This left the runners-up UCLA and UTEP as co-champions.
