378 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 378edo or 378ed2), also called 378-tone equal temperament (378tet) or 378 equal temperament (378et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 378 equal parts of about 3.175 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/378, or the 378th root of 2.

The equal temperament tempers out 32805/32768 (schisma) in the 5-limit and 3136/3125 in the 7-limit, so that it supports bischismic, and in fact provides the optimal patent val. It tempers out 441/440 and 8019/8000 in the 11-limit and 729/728 and 1001/1000 in the 13-limit so that it supports 11- and 13-limit bischismatic, and it also gives the optimal patent val for 13-limit bischismic.
