SMS S178 was a S138-class large torpedo boat of the Imperial German Navy. She was built by the Schichau-Werke at Elbing in 1909–1910, launching on 14 July 1910 and completing on 9 December that year.
S178 was sunk in a collision with the German armoured cruiser Yorck on 4 March 1913, but her wreck was salvaged and rebuilt, and the torpedo boat re-entered service in 1915. She served through the rest of the First World War, operating both in the North and Baltic Seas, taking part in the Battle of Dogger Bank in 1915, the Battle of the Gulf of Riga in August 1915 and Operation Albion, the German invasion and occupation of the West Estonian Archipelago in 1917. She was renamed T178 in February 1918.
Following the end of the First World War, T178 was surrendered as a reparation under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, and was scrapped in 1922.
