Cebu's 2nd congressional district is one of the seven congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Cebu. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 1916 and earlier in the Philippine Assembly from 1907 to 1916. The district consists of the southern Cebu municipalities of Alcoy, Argao, Boljoon, Dalaguete, Oslob, Samboan and Santander. It is currently represented in the 20th Congress by Edsel Galeos of the Lakas–CMD (Lakas) and One Cebu (1CEBU).

The district served as an electoral district in the 1934 Constitutional Convention, electing two delegates, and in the 1971 Constitutional Convention, electing four delegates.

Prior to its second dissolution in 1972, the district encompassed the cities of Cebu, Lapu-Lapu, and Mandaue, and the eastern municipalities of Compostela, Consolacion, Cordova, and Liloan. The southwestern municipalities of Alcantara, Argao, Badian, Dumanjug, Ginatilan, Malabuyoc, Moalboal, and Ronda belonged to the district from 1987 until they were reapportioned to the re-created seventh district in 2016.
