The 1987 24 Hours of Le Mans was the 55th Grand Prix of Endurance, and took place on June 13 and 14, 1987. It was also the fifth round of the World Sports-Prototype Championship.

A chicane was installed in the middle of the Dunlop curve (just prior to the Dunlop bridge) in an attempt to slow speeds, although originally intended merely to slow speeds for motorcycles involved in races at Le Mans and the Bugatti Circuit.
