1987–88 Snooker World Rankings
Steve Davis retained the top ranking for the fifth consecutive year, with Jimmy White second and Neal Foulds third. White, who won two ranking titles in the 1986–87 season, had been in fifth place the previous year, and Foulds, who won one ranking title in the latter season, moved up from 13th.
Discussing the rankings for 1987–88, the snooker journalist Terry Smith asserted that "Every player in the lower ranks has one immediate aim – a place in the top 16 ... that elite top group." Players in the top 16 were seeded into the last-32 round of the 1988 World Snooker Championship and received invitations to the 1988 Masters. John Parrott, Mike Hallett and Dean Reynolds moved into the top 16 for the first time, while Kirk Stevens, Tony Meo and Ray Reardon fell out of it. Six-time world champion Reardon dropped down to 38th from 15th. Teenager Stephen Hendry rose to 23rd from 51st. Ken Owers was the highest-ranked of the players who had joined the circuit in the 1986–87 season.
In the original list for the season, Perrie Mans was listed at 50th and George Ganim at 126th. There were 130 professionals listed, of which those ranked 121 or lower became "non-tournament" (NT) players, meaning that they were permitted to enter the world championship but no other tournaments. Mans resigned his membership of the WPBSA that year. The list as published in the Benson and Hedges Snooker Yearbook in 1987 omits Mans and Ganim, and has David Greaves above François Ellis; these differences are reflected in the table used below.

Ranking was determined as follows:
- By number of ranking points.
- If players had an equal number of ranking points, precedence was given to the player with the better performances in the later season.
- If players were still equal, merit points were considered. If they were still tied, precedence was given to the player with the better performances in the later season.
- If players were still equal, A points were considered. If they were still tied, precedence was given to the player with the better in the later season.
- If players were still equal, frames won were considered. If they were still tied, precedence was given the player with the better in the later season.
