The 1987 NAIA Division II football season, as part of the 1987 college football season in the United States and the 32nd season of college football sponsored by the NAIA, was the 18th season of play of the NAIA's lower division for football.
The season was played from August to November 1987 and culminated in the 1987 NAIA Division II Football National Championship, played at the Lincoln Bowl near the campus of Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington.
Pacific Lutheran and Wisconsin–Stevens Point played to a tie, 16–16, and were declared co-national champions. It was Pacific Lutheran's second NAIA national title and UWSP's first. However, the Pointers were later forced to vacate their title after it was discovered they had been using an ineligible player.
