The 1987–88 Drexel Dragons men's basketball team represented Drexel University during the 1987–88 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.
The Dragons, led by 11th year head coach Eddie Burke, played their home games at the Daskalakis Athletic Center (with the exception of 3 home games that were played at the Palestra) and were members of the East Coast Conference (ECC).
Drexel won their game against Manhattan via forfeit when Manhattah Head Coach Bob Delle Bovi took his team off the court to protest the officiating with 8:09 left to play in the second half.
On January 6, 1988, John Rankin set the Drexel team record for most points in a single game, scoring 44 points against Rider.
Later in the season, Michael Anderson scored 43 and 42 points in games against Lehigh and Rider respectively, which were the second and third highest scoring single game records in team history.
