The 1987 Meath Senior Football Championship is the 95th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 14 teams, with the winner going on to represent Meath in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

Summerhill were the defending champions after they defeated Seneschalstown in the previous years final, however in this year's campaign they failed to progress past the group phase. They were chosen to represent Meath in the 1987 Leinster Senior Club Football Championship as the Meath SFC was still ongoing by the first round of the Leinster Club SFC at the beginning of October, due to Meath's All-Ireland success.

Gaeil Colmcille returned to the senior grade after a three-year absence when claiming the 1986 Meath Intermediate Football Championship title.

Navan O'Mahonys claimed their 12th S.F.C. title when defeating Skryne 0-13 to 1-9 in the final at Kells on the 1 October 1987. Brian Smyth raised the Keegan Cup for O'Mahonys while his brother Brian Reilly claimed the 'Man of the Match' award.

Martry Harps were regraded to the I.F.C. for 1988 after just two years in the S.F.C. failing to win a match. Syddan's superb 46-year run in the Senior grade also ended with relegation this year.
