The 1934 Southeastern Conference men's basketball tournament took place on February 23–27, 1934 in Atlanta, Georgia at the Atlanta Athletic Club. It was the second SEC basketball tournament.[1]

Alabama won the tournament by beating Florida in the championship game.

In the first round, undefeated Kentucky was upset by Florida. Believing it was unfair to not award a regular season conference championship separate from the tournament, coach Adolph Rupp announced Kentucky would not play in the 1935 tournament, ensuring the conference would not reverse its previous decision to cancel it.[2]
