State Route 34 (SR 34) is an Ohio State Route that runs between Indiana State Road 427, west of Edon and US 6 (US 6) in the US state of Ohio. The 32.02 miles (51.53 km) of SR 34 that lie within the state serve as a minor highway. None of the highway is listed on the National Highway System. Various sections are rural two-lane highway and urban four-lane highway. The highway passes through residential and commercial properties.
The highway was first signed in 1923 and was much longer than it is today, going from the Indiana state line, west of Edon, to SR 101, east of Fremont. Most of the route was replaced by US 6 or SR 412. SR 34 was extended in the late 1950s, when US 6 was rerouted onto a more southerly route near Bryan.
SR 34 heads east from the Indiana state line towards Edon, as a two-lane highway passing through farmland with a few houses. The road enters Edon and passes through residential properties. In the center of the town is a four-way stop with SR 49. East of SR 49 the route leaves the town and crosses the Indiana Northeastern Railroad track. The highway has east passing through farmland with a few houses, before making a sharp curve south. The road heads due south towards Blakeslee. In Blakeslee the route passes under a Norfolk Southern Railroad track and the highway turns east-southeast towards Bryan. On the way to Bryan the highway makes a few curves and crosses over the St. Joseph River, before entering Bryan.
