The 1987 Lehigh Engineers football team was an American football team that represented Lehigh University during the 1987 NCAA Division I-AA football season. Lehigh finished second in the Colonial League.
In their second year under head coach Hank Small, the Engineers compiled a 5–5–1 record.[1]
The Engineers outscored opponents 221 to 201. Lehigh's 3–1–1 conference record placed second in the six-team Colonial League standings.[2]
This was the 74th and final year that Lehigh played its home games at Taylor Stadium on the university's main campus in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.[3] The following year, Lehigh would open Goodman Stadium on the Goodman Campus; the former Taylor site is now occupied by Lehigh's business school and arts center.
