The CMLL 78th Anniversary Show (Spanish: 78. Aniversario de CMLL) was a professional wrestling major show scripted and produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) that took place on September 30, 2011, in CMLL's home arena Arena México in Mexico City, Mexico. The event commemorated the 78th anniversary of CMLL, the oldest professional wrestling promotion in the world. CMLL's anniversary show is their biggest, most important show of the year, comparable to the Super Bowl for the National Football League or WrestleMania for WWE. The CMLL Anniversary Show series is the longest-running annual professional wrestling show, starting in 1934.

The main event of the show was a steel cage where all ten competitors put their hair on the line, with the stipulation that the last man in the cage would be shaved bald as a result. The match came down to El Felino and Rey Bucanero after Rush, Mr. Águila, El Terrible vs. El Texano Jr., Héctor Garza, Máximo, Blue Panther and Negro Casas had left the cage. El Felino pinned Rey Bucanero, forcing Rey Bucanero to stand in the middle of the ring as his hair was shaved off. The show featured three additional matches, including the first round of 2011 Leyenda de Plata tournament.
