The FA Cup 1987–88 was the 108th edition of the world's oldest football knockout competition, The Football Association Challenge Cup, or FA Cup for short. The competition was won by Wimbledon F.C.'s so-called Crazy Gang who defeated the mighty Liverpool through a famous goal by Lawrie Sanchez. They would be one of three clubs other than Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool to win the trophy in the following 20 years (the others being Everton and Spurs) before Portsmouth's victory in the 2008 final.

The tournament started in summer 1987 with non-league teams competing in a qualifying competition. Teams from the First and Second Divisions entered at the third round.
