The 1977–78 English football season was Aston Villa's 2nd season in Europe and 79th season in the Football League, their third consecutive season in the top division.
Villa reached the quarter-final of the UEFA Cup where they went out 4–3 on aggregate against Barcelona. In the domestic league, however, they struggled, and Saunders started rebuilding the team.
There were debut appearances for Jimmy Rimmer (229), Ken McNaught, John Gregory, Tommy Craig, David Evans and Allan Evans.
