The 378th Air Expeditionary Wing is a provisional United States Air Forces Central Command unit. As a provisional unit, it may be activated or inactivated by Central Command when needed. It has been garrisoned at Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia since 2019.

The unit was first activated as the 378th Bombardment Group. It was assigned to the Army Air Forces Antisubmarine Command at Langley Field, Virginia, where it was stationed from October to December 1942. The group participated in the antisubmarine campaign along the Atlantic coast of the United States until it was inactivated, when the Antisubmarine Command assigned its squadrons directly to the command's two antisubmarine wings.
