This is a list of members of the Australian Senate from 1987 to 1990:

1 Australian Capital Territory ALP Senator Susan Ryan resigned on 29 January 1988. Bob McMullan was appointed as her replacement on 16 February. 2 The election of New South Wales NDP Senator Robert Wood was voided by the Court of Disputed Returns on 12 May 1988, after it was discovered that he was not an Australian citizen. Irina Dunn, who had been the number 2 candidate for the NDP on the Senate ballot paper, was elected on a re-count on 21 July. Dunn refused a request from the NDP to step down when Wood became a citizen (and thus eligible for election to the Senate), and was expelled from the party.
