The St. Louis Cardinals 1987 season was the team's 106th season in St. Louis, Missouri and the 96th season in the National League. The Cardinals went 95-67 during the season and finished 1st in the National League East division. They won in the NLCS in seven games over the San Francisco Giants, and in the World Series, after having fallen behind 2-0 at the Metrodome, they won their next three games at home. However, back at the Metrodome, they lost the last two and fell one game short of a World Series title. This also was the Cardinals' last World Series appearance until 2004.

Shortstop Ozzie Smith and third baseman Terry Pendleton won Gold Gloves this year.
