The 1987–88 Arizona Wildcats men's basketball team represented the University of Arizona during the 1987–88 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.

The team played its home games in the McKale Center in Tucson, Arizona, and was a member of the Pacific-10 Conference.

In the Pacific-10 Basketball tournament, Arizona beat Oregon State by a score of 93–67 to claim its first Pac-10 title.

The Wildcats built on that momentum by reaching the Final Four of the NCAA tournament.

The victory over Long Beach State in the home opener at McKale Center began a 71-game home court winning streak.
