The 1935 World Archery Championships was the 5th edition of the World Archery Championships. The event was held in Brussels, Belgium in August 1935 and was organised by World Archery Federation (FITA).

The results of the men's tournament ended in controversy. For the first (and only) time, the competition took an elimination format: after a standard International round, consisting of 6 rounds shot at various lengths from 30m to 90m, the 15 archers with the highest cumulative score took part in a final round, shot at 30m, to decide the champion. In the women's competition, the eventual winner Ina Catani was the same as the first round winner; but in the men's, the Czechoslovak archers who had dominated the first round struggled against the host Belgian archers who were masters of the shorter distance. Adrien Van Kolen, winner of the final round, was named Champion, but Jaroslav Jenecek, who topped the first round and would have been champion under the previous format, was awarded a special 'High Total' trophy. ^[1]^[2]^[3]
