Elections to the '''[[Mizoram Legislative Assembly]]''' were held in May 1978 to elect members of the 30 constituencies in [[Mizoram]], India. The [[Mizoram People's Conference]] emerged as the single largest party and [[T. Sailo]] was appointed as the [[Chief Minister of Mizoram]].

The previous ministry, led by Chief Minister [[C. Chhunga]], resigned in May 1977, to facilitate the progress of peace talks ([[Mizoram Peace Accord]]). The Union Territory was therefore placed under [[President's rule]], for a year.<ref name=sinha2007>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ngtgH9RYB0EC |title=Lost Opportunities: 50 Years of Insurgency in the North-east and India's|author=S.
