The 1988 OFC Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament determined which Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) team would qualify directly to complete at the 1988 Summer Olympics men's football tournament.
The qualifications had two rounds. The first round had three teams per group, with the group winner going directly into the second round. The runner-up of each group completed in a one-way play-off to determine who participated in the second round. Israel qualified directly into the second round.
Before the first round begun, Papua New Guinea and Fiji pulled out, leaving each group with only two teams. It was decided to have two match playoffs instead.
