Route 178 was a proposed state highway in the U.S. state of New Jersey. It was a freeway proposed in 1969, but abandoned in the 1970s.

It was a scaled-back version of a 1966 proposal of a much longer Route 53 freeway from the proposed Route 24 freeway connecting Morris Plains to Interstate 84 in Montgomery, New York (as part of New York State Route 208). The Route 178 proposal would have reached from Morris Plains only as far as Interstate 80 in Parsippany-Troy Hills. The proposal was abandoned in 1975 when it was not included in the New Jersey Department of Transportation's five-year transportation plan.
