The 1978 Meath Intermediate Football Championship is the 52nd edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for intermediate graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 19 teams. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

This was Wolfe Tone's debut in the Intermediate grade after relegation from the S.F.C. the previous year. The club were formed in 1975 when St. John's (Kilberry) and Gibbstown joined forces. St. John's had previously won the I.F.C. title in 1974 so Wolfe Tones were put straight into the S.F.C.

Ballinabrackey were promoted after claiming the 1977 Meath Junior Football Championship title.

On 27 August 1978, Duleek claimed their 4th Intermediate championship title when they defeated Kilmainhamwood 0-9 to 1-5 in the final.
