Members of the Tasmanian House of Assembly, 1934–1937

This is a list of members of the Tasmanian House of Assembly between the 9 June 1934 election and the 20 February 1937 election. The 1934 election reduced the Nationalists from one of their biggest majorities ever into opposition, as Labor leader Albert Ogilvie became Premier of Tasmania. It was not until 1969 that the Nationalists' successors, the Liberals, would achieve another term of office.
