Candidates of the New South Wales colonial election, 1887

This is a list of candidates for the 1887 New South Wales colonial election. The election was held from 4 February to 26 February 1887.

This was the first election at which there were recognisable political parties in New South Wales: the Free Trade Party of Premier Sir Henry Parkes, and the Protectionist Party. In general, candidates classified as independent protectionists were protectionists who supported Parkes, while independent free traders were free traders who opposed him.

Retiring Members

Note: Bourke MLAs Russell Barton and William Sawers had resigned on 2 December 1886, but the proximity of the election meant no by-election was held.

Legislative Assembly

Sitting members are shown in bold text. Successful candidates are highlighted in the relevant colour and marked with an asterisk (*).

Electorates are arranged chronologically from the day the poll was held. Because of the sequence of polling, some sitting members who were defeated in their constituencies were then able to contest other constituencies later in the polling period. On the second occasion, these members are shown in italic text.
