Utah State Route 87 (SR-87) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah. Over a span of 38 miles (61 km), it connects the communities of Altamont, Boneta, Bluebell, and Upalco to Duchesne and US-40/191 in Duchesne County.
The route begins on US-40/191 as Center Street in Duchesne and runs North across Blue Bench five miles to the intersection with State Route 35, continues north seven miles then turns east near Talmage and Mountain Home through the community of Boneta then Altamont. The road then turns southeast through the community of Upalco, and near the communities of Altonah and Bluebell. The road then turns east onto Ioka Lane that connects back into US-40/191 five miles west of Roosevelt, Utah.
The stretch of road from Upalco, Utah to Ioka Junction at present day US-40 was designated as Route 87 in 1935. The western terminus in Upalco was an intersection with the now deleted route of SR-86. At the time, the current-day route of SR-87 was a patchwork of other small routes, encompassing parts of, starting from Duchesne, former SR-134, SR-35, former SR-221, former SR-86, and what is now the easternmost portion of SR-87.
