Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver were the defending champions, but lost in the quarterfinals to Svetlana Parkhomenko and Larisa Savchenko. This loss ended Navratilova’s record streak of 16-consecutive grand slam doubles finals made, dating back to the 1983 Wimbledon doubles, all of which were with Shriver, except the 1986 French Open doubles. Navratilova would claim nearly half, 14, of her career record 31 grand slam doubles championships during the aforementioned streak.
Claudia Kohde-Kilsch and Helena Suková defeated Betsy Nagelsen and Elizabeth Smylie in the final, 7-5, 7-5 to win the ladies' doubles tennis title at the 1987 Wimbledon Championships.
