The 1987 NBA Draft took place on 22 June 1987 in New York City, New York.

This draft is notable for the selection of two future members of the NBA 50 Greatest Players list, David Robinson and Scottie Pippen, and one player that just missed the list, Reggie Miller, who is the brother of former USC women's basketball player and coach Cheryl Miller. Other notable selections include Kenny Smith (player and future commentator), Horace Grant, and Mark Jackson. Also in this draft, current Florida Gators head men's basketball coach Billy Donovan (drafted 68th by the Utah Jazz), who led that program to NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championships in 2006 and in 2007.

Note that David Robinson did not join the NBA until the 1989-90 season due his service commitment with the United States Navy.
