State Highway 78 is a New Zealand state highway connecting central Timaru with its port. It holds the record for New Zealand's shortest State Highway, with a length of just under 1000 metres.
State Highway 78 begins at State Highway 1 just north of the CBD. It follows Sefton Street East for 200 metres to Stafford Street, where it becomes the Port Loop Road. The road then proceeds northeast over the South Island Main Trunk Railway, before turning anticlockwise around a loop, passing under itself parallel to the railway line. The highway terminates at the intersection of Port Loop Road with Marine Parade.
