- The 1978 Wolverhampton Metropolitan Borough Council election for the City of Wolverhampton Council was held on Thursday 4 May. Following the elections no single party had overall control of Wolverhampton Metropolitan Borough Council, the WAR candidates voted with Labour at the mayor making a few weeks later but control passed to the Conservative group following the February 1979 Low Hill by election when the Conservatives gained a seat from Labour. The 1978 election is notable in that two future Wolverhampton Members of Parliament, Dennis Turner (Bilston East) and Ken Purchase (Eastfield) were both elected to the council. A vacant seat in St Peters meant two seats were contested in that ward. The composition of the council prior to the election was:
* Labour 33
* Conservative 24
* Wolverhampton Association of Ratepayers 2
* Vacancy 1 The composition of the council following the election was:
* Labour 29
* Conservative 29
* Wolverhampton Association of Ratepayers 2 (en)
