The Bücker Bü 134 was the Bücker Company's first monoplane, and was a rare failure for the company. It was produced after the successful Bü 133 Jungmeister, and was a high-winged monoplane which could carry two people in an enclosed cabin.

A single prototype was produced, but this aircraft, D-EGPA, performed disappointingly in tests during 1936 and the design was abandoned. Bücker moved on to the Bü 180 Student, a slightly more successful design that evolved into the very successful Bü 181 Bestmann.
