The 1986–87 English football season was Aston Villa's 88th season in the Football League. The 1986–87 Football League First Division season saw Aston Villa relegated.

23 Dec 1986 – Tottenham Hotspur sign midfielder Steve Hodge from Aston Villa for £650,000. 19 Feb 1987 – Billy McNeill boosts Aston Villa's battle against relegation by paying Everton £300,000 for striker Warren Aspinall.

On 8 May, relegated Aston Villa sacked Billy McNeill after eight months as manager.[11] Two weeks later, Graham Taylor resigns after 10 years as Watford manager to succeed him. Villa begin rebuilding following relegation with the sale of defender Tony Dorigo to Chelsea for £450,000.
