The 1987 Castilian-Manchegan regional election was held on Wednesday, 10 June 1987, to elect the 2nd Cortes of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha. All 47 seats in the Cortes were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in twelve other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain, as well as the 1987 European Parliament election.

The election was won by the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), which gained 2 seats and enlarged its absolute majority from 52% to 53% of the seats; Castilla-La Mancha thus became one of the few autonomous communities in the 1987 regional elections where the PSOE increased its parliamentary representation. The People's Alliance (AP), on the other hand, won just 34% of the share and 18 seats, after the People's Coalition had broken up in 1986. Both former AP partners, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the Liberal Party (PL), stood separately but failed to attract significant support.

The Democratic and Social Centre (CDS), a party founded by former Prime Minister Adolfo Suárez, entered the Courts for its first and only time, setting a record result for third parties in future regional elections with 4 seats and over 10% of the share. United Left (IU), an electoral coalition between the Communist Party of Spain and other left-wing parties formed in 1986, failed to gain any seats and dropped from the 6.9% it had in 1983 to 5.4%.
