The 1935 Macdonald Brier , the Canadian men's national curling championship, was held from March 5 to 7, 1935 at the Granite Club in Toronto, Ontario. ^[1]

After placing second in each of the last two Brier's, Team Ontario, who was skipped by Gordon M. Campbell finally won the Brier Tankard with a round robin record of 6-1. This was Ontario's first ever Brier championship.

New rules were instituted for the 1935 Brier, including a standardized weight for stones (45 pounds), sweeping being restricted between the near hog line and far tee line, and the abandonment of flipping a coin to decide hammer in extra ends. ^[2]
