1987 VFA Season

These are the results for the 1987 season of the Victorian Football Association (currently known as the Victorian Football League).

It featured eighteen rounds in a double round-robin format. It should be noted that teams did not necessarily play their matches following the same order as the nominal round numbers of those matches this season. Port Melbourne were the minor premiers.
