The men's Greco-Roman 87 kilograms is a competition featured at the 2021 World Wrestling Championships, and was held in Oslo, Norway on 9 and 10 October.[1]

This Greco-Roman wrestling competition consists of a single-elimination tournament, with a repechage used to determine the winner of two bronze medals. The two finalists face off for gold and silver medals. Each wrestler who loses to one of the two finalists moves into the repechage, culminating in a pair of bronze medal matches featuring the semifinal losers each facing the remaining repechage opponent from their half of the bracket.

On 21 November 2025, The Anti-doping Section of the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that the gold medalist Zurabi Datunashvili violated anti-doping rules by using a prohibited method and falsification and sentenced him to 5 years of ineligibility and disqualification of all results since 27 May 2021. Datunashvili's appeal was rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport and he was stripped of his medals.[2]
