Minuscule 834 is a 14th-century Greek manuscript of the New Testament on parchment. In the Gregory-Aland numbering it is 834, and it is also known as Θε422 in von Soden. The manuscript contains all four Gospels on 287 parchment leaves, each about 33.5 by 25.3 cm, written in two columns per page with 43 lines per page.

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), with their numbers in the margin and the τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. It includes Prolegomena, tables of contents before each Gospel, subscriptions at the end of Matthew, and versification in Luke. It also contains a commentary by Theophylact.

The Greek text of Minuscule 834 is of the Byzantine text-type, and Kurt Aland placed it in Category V. It has not been examined by the Claremont Profile Method. Gregory suggested it could have been rewritten from minuscule 835. Gregory dated the manuscript to the 14th century, a dating later confirmed by the INTF.

The manuscript was studied by Angelo Maria Bandini. Gregory added it to the list of New Testament manuscripts as 834e and saw it in 1886. It is currently housed at the Laurentian Library in Florence, under the shelf-number Plutei XI.6.
