The 2nd federal electoral district of Coahuila () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of eight such districts in the state of Coahuila.
It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first past the post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the second region.
The current member for the district, re-elected in the 2024 general election, is of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).
District territory The district is one of the country's largest in terms of its surface area.

The reconfigured 2nd district covers 268 electoral precincts () across 11 municipalities: Cuatrociénegas, Francisco I. Madero, Frontera, Lamadrid, Múzquiz, Nadadores, Ocampo, Sacramento, San Buenaventura, San Pedro and Sierra Mojada.
The head town (), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of San Pedro de las Colonias. The district reported a population of 378,794 in the 2020 census.
