The 1934–35 season was Newport County's third consecutive season in the Third Division South and their 14th in the Football League. The season started with three straight wins and the club found itself top of the table after the first match. However, with 18 defeats in the last half of the season County were forced into the re-election process for the fourth time, but were comfortably re-elected.
