The 1935 National League Division One was the fourth season of the highest tier of motorcycle speedway in Great Britain. Walthamstow relocated to Hackney Wick Wolves. Plymouth Devils and Birmingham dropped out so there were only 7 teams, 6 of which were located in London. The only non-London club, Belle Vue Aces, won their third consecutive national title. Bluey Wilkinson of West Ham Hammers topped the rider averages.
