The 1934 Temple Owls football team was an American football team that represented Temple University as an independent during the 1934 college football season. In its second season under head coach Pop Warner, the team compiled an undefeated 7–0–2 record in the regular season, but lost 20–14 to host Tulane in the inaugural Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day in New Orleans. In their ten games, the Owls outscored their opponents 220 to 57; and their eight home games were played at Temple Stadium in Philadelphia.

This team featured one of the best backfields in program history in "Dynamite Dave" Smukler, Glenn Frey, Danny Tester, and Wilfred H. Longsderff. Smukler was the third-team fullback on the Associated Press All-America team.
