1978–79 Isthmian League

The 1978–79 season was the 64th season of the Isthmian League, an English football competition.

At the end of the season Alliance Premier League was created. As a result of it, Isthmian League teams lost possibility to take part in the elections to the Football League as only highest placed team from Alliance Premier League who met the Football League requirements may apply. The Isthmian League refused to participate in the formation of the new league.
