VM i snooker 1987, Embassy World Snooker Championship, spelades i The Crucible Theatre i Sheffield, England, den 18 april–4 maj 1987. Steve Davis vann turneringen, hans fjärde VM-titel totalt. I finalen slog han överraskningsmannen och tillika regerande världsmästaren Joe Johnson.
Händelser under turneringen
- För första gången sedan 1951 möttes samma spelare i finalen två år i rad. Den gången var det Fred Davis och Walter Donaldson. Efter årets turnering skulle det inte dröja längre än till början av 1990-talet, då Stephen Hendry och Jimmy White möttes i tre raka finaler 1992 – 1994.
- Stephen Hendry blev den yngste spelaren genom tiderna att nå kvartsfinal i VM, 18 år och 3 månader. Hendry var dessutom den förste skotten i snookerns moderna era (1969 och framåt) att nå kvartsfinal.
- 1970-talets sexfaldige världsmästare Ray Reardon gjorde detta år sitt sista framträdande i The Crucible. Efter säsongen föll han från plats 15 till plats 38 på rankingen, och lyckades därefter aldrig mer kvala in till VM.
- Turneringens högsta break, 127 av Steve Davis, är det lägsta högsta breaket i VM under den moderna eran.
- För första gången sedan 1939 var alla fyra semifinalisterna i VM engelsmän.
