An election for President of Israel was held in the Knesset on 19 April 1978 in which Yitzhak Navon was elected as the fifth president of the state of Israel.
Ephraim Katzir, who was elected President of Israel in 1973, declined to stand for a second term due to his wife's illness. Yitzhak Navon ran unopposed for the position.
Navon's term began on the day of the election. He held office until 1983, when Chaim Herzog was elected as President.
