The 1987 U.S. Clay Court Championships was a Grand Prix tennis tournament held in Indianapolis, Indiana in the United States. It was the 19th edition held in the open era and the last in Indianapolis.[3]

The tournament was moved to a summer date (July 13–19) after the previous year's spring event failed to attract top male players.[4] The revised date clashed with the scheduled Virginia Slims of Newport so there was no women's event in 1987.[5]
