The 1977–78 season was Newport County’s 16th consecutive season in the Football League Fourth Division and their 50th season overall in the Football League. Despite the eventual lowly 16th-place finish this season was a much-improved performance over the previous season’s relegation battle. The club was actually in third place with promotion looking likely with ten games to go but those games yielded a mere three points and County missed out again on a return to the Third Division.
