General elections were held in Denmark on 8 September 1987. The Social Democratic Party remained the largest in the Folketing with 54 of the 179 seats. The Conservative People's Party-led coalition government lost its majority, but since the parties on the left did not have a majority to form their own government, the incumbent government was able to continue as a minority coalition government. Voter turnout was 87% in Denmark proper, 69% in the Faroe Islands and 45% in Greenland.
