The 1978–79 Cincinnati Stingers season was the Stingers' last season of operation in the World Hockey Association. They finished 5th and lost in the first round to the New England Whalers. They were the only team from this season's playoffs not brought into the National Hockey League as part of the NHL–WHA merger; however, this had been decided ahead of the playoffs.
