The South African cricket team toured England in the 1935 season to play a five-match Test series against England.

South Africa won the series 1–0 with 4 matches drawn. Their victory at Lord's was their first in a Test in England, and with the remaining matches drawn, it also ensured that they would, for the first time, win a series in England. In all first-class matches, they won 17, drew 12, and lost only two.
