# Temporada 1987 de la CART IndyCar World Series

La Temporada 1987 de la CART IndyCar World Series fue la novena temporada de la Championship Auto Racing Teams, que consistió en 15 carreras y una carrera no puntuable, comenzando en Long Beach, California el 6 de abril y concluyendo en Miami, Florida, el 1 de noviembre. El campeón de la PPG IndyCar World Series y ganador de las 71.ª edición de las 500 Millas de Indianápolis fue Al Unser. El destacado Novato del Año fue el italiano Fabrizio Barbazza.
