The 1987 New Jersey State Senate elections were held on November 3.

The election took place mid-way through the second term of Governor Thomas Kean. The elections were marked by extreme stability; only one seat, that of Peter P. Garibaldi, did not return its incumbent Senator. Multiple Senators were re-elected unopposed.
