The 1934 Swiss Grand Prix was a Grand Prix motor race run to the 750 kg formula, held at Circuit Bremgarten, near Bern, on 26 August 1934. It was supported earlier in the day by the voiturette-class I Prix de Berne. The main event was won by Hans Stuck in an Auto Union, having led the race from pole position. While Stuck's pole position had been earned by setting the fastest lap time in practice, the positions following the German were decided by ballot. The voiturette race was won by Dick Seaman driving an MG. The Grand Prix was marred by the fatal accident of British driver Hugh Hamilton on the final lap.
