The Revolution of 1934, also known as the Revolution of October 1934, or the Revolutionary General Strike of 1934 was a revolutionary strike movement that took place between October 5 and October 19, 1934, during the black biennium of the Second Spanish Republic. The movement was supported by many SSWP and GUW members, notably Largo Caballero and Indalecio Prieto. Most of the events occurred in Catalonia and Asturias.

The Revolution began with the Asturian miners' strike of 1934.
