State Road 78 (SR 78) is the Florida Department of Transportation designation of the highway that historically extended from Pine Island Center on the Gulf Coast of Florida to the northern tip of Lake Okeechobee. In the 1980s, two segments of the route (including a segment in Lee County and a separate segment spanning Lee and Hendry counties) were removed from state maintenance to county maintenance and both were redesignated County Road 78 (CR 78). All three sections of SR 78 are signed east–west, even though the easternmost section is actually a north–south route.
