This is a list of earthquakes in 1935. Only magnitude 6.0 or greater earthquakes appear on the list. Lower magnitude events are included if they have caused death, injury or damage. All dates are listed according to UTC time. 1935 was again a very active year with 20 events recording greater than magnitude 7.0. Amongst the bigger earthquakes of the year was the devastating Pakistan event in May which left 60,000 dead. Taiwan also fared badly with 3 magnitude 7.0+ events and in particular a quake in April left 3,276 dead. Other large quakes struck Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Solomon Islands and somewhat unusually Libya. Turkey and Iran saw their share of the action as well with substantial deaths being caused by several quakes over the year.
