The 1987 Central African Games was the third and final edition of the international multi-sport event between the nations of Central Africa. It was held from 18–30 April 1987 in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo, with the Stade Alphonse Massemba-Débat serving as the main stadium. A total of eleven nations competed in five sports over the thirteen-day competition, with a total of 1044 athletes in attendance.
The event was originally planned to take place in Zaire in 1985, but was postponed due to financial issues. Brazzaville had previously hosted the Central African Cup event in 1972, which was itself a precursor to the games. The competition served as qualifying for the 1987 All-Africa Games held later that year.
