An election was held in Spain on Wednesday, 10 June 1987, to elect the MEP delegation from the country for the 2nd European Parliament. All 60 seats allocated to the Spanish constituency as per the 1985 Treaty of Accession were up for election. It was held concurrently with regional elections in thirteen autonomous communities and local elections all across Spain.

Spain had acceded the European Communities on 1 January 1986 and had been represented in the European Parliament by 60 temporarily appointed delegates until a proper election could be held. As a European-wide election was due in 1989, elected MEPs only served for the remainder of the European Parliament term.
