Louisiana Highway 34 (LA 34) is a state highway located in central and northern Louisiana. It runs 86.12 miles (138.60 km) in a southwest to northeast direction from the junction of U.S. Highway 71 (US 71) and LA 1239-2 in Montgomery to a junction with the concurrent US 80/LA 15 in West Monroe.

The route connects Monroe, the principal city of northeastern Louisiana and the seat of Ouachita Parish, with Winnfield, a smaller city that serves as the seat of Winn Parish. Winnfield is located at the junction of US 84 and US 167, which run concurrent with LA 34 through the center of town. Near its northeastern terminus in West Monroe, LA 34 has an interchange with Interstate 20 (I-20).

Outside Winnfield and the Monroe metropolitan area, LA 34 is an entirely rural highway that passes through the occasional small community. These include the Jackson Parish towns of Chatham and Eros, as well as the Winn Parish village of Atlanta.

LA 34 was created from portions of nine different former routes designated at various times during the 1920s and 1930s. The Louisiana Department of Highways combined them under a single designation in the 1955 renumbering of the state's highway system.
