Elections to Liverpool City Council were held on 7 May 1987. One third of the council was up for election on ordinary rotation; in addition there were extra vacancies in many wards caused by the disqualification of those Labour councillors who were surcharged and banned from office as part of a protest against rate-capping. As a result, the 33 wards elected a total of 59 councillors.

As a result of the election, the Labour Party regained overall control of the council,[1] and Harry Rimmer became council leader.
After the election, the composition of the council was:
