Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup 1878-79 var den sjette udgave af Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup, nu til dags bedre kendt som Scottish Cup. De første kampe blev spillet den 21. september 1878, og finalen blev afviklet den 19. april 1879, hvor Vale of Leven FC spillede uafgjort 1-1 med Rangers FC. Finalen skulle spilles om en uge senere, men Rangers FC stillede ikke op til omkampen i protest mod en kendelse i den første kamp, hvor holdet fik annulleret en scoring. Og dermed sikrede Vale of Leven FC sig sin tredje triumf i Scottish Cup uden at spille omkampen.
