LNHL Entry Draft 1987 è stato il 25º draft della National Hockey League. Si è tenuto il 13 giugno 1987 presso la Joe Louis Arena di Detroit.
Per la prima volta nella storia del Draft la manifestazione si svolse negli Stati Uniti, più precisamente presso la Joe Louis Arena di Detroit, sede degli incontri casalinghi dei Detroit Red Wings. Dall'introduzione dell'Entry Draft nel 1979 mai al primo giro furono selezionati solamente giocatori canadesi, e mai tutte e tre le prime scelte nel corso delle loro carriere presero parte all'NHL All-Star Game. L'ultima occasione nella quale si verificarono questi due casi fu l'ultimo Amateur Draft del 1978. Alcune fra le scelte migliori dell'intero draft arrivarono all'ottavo giro, nel quale furono selezionati i futuri All-Star Guy Hebert e Theoren Fleury.
I Buffalo Sabres selezionarono il centro Pierre Turgeon dai Granby Bisons, i New Jersey Devils invece come seconda scelta puntarono sull'ala sinistra Brendan Shanahan, proveniente dai St. Thomas Stars, mentre i New Jersey Devils scelsero in terza posizione il difensore Glen Wesley dei Portland Winter Hawks. Fra i 252 giocatori selezionati 138 erano attaccanti, 89 erano difensori mentre 25 erano portieri. Dei giocatori scelti 90 giocarono in NHL mentre due entrarono a far parte della Hockey Hall of Fame.
