State Highway 34 is a route that runs from Honey Grove to Italy just east of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.

SH 34 was originally proposed in 1919 as a loop around Dallas, starting in Ft. Worth travelling southeast to Waxahachie, then northeast to Terrell. By 1922,SH 34 extended northeast to Cooper. By 1926, the section northeast of Greenville had been transferred to SH 39. By 1928, the western end had been extended through Ft. Worth to near Jacksboro. By 1933, the eastern end had been extended north to Honey Grove over former SH 38.

In 1939, the section from Jacksboro to Ennis was removed from SH 34, becoming parts of U.S. Highway 287 and SH 199. It was instead routed farther southwest into Italy, replacing State Highway 306.
