Makati's 2nd congressional district is one of the two legislative districts in Makati. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 1995. The district consists of three barangays in northeastern Makati: Guadalupe Nuevo, Guadalupe Viejo, and Pinagkaisahan. The ten Embo barangays—Cembo, Comembo, East Rembo, Pembo, Pitogo, Post Proper Northside, Post Proper Southside, Rizal, South Cembo and West Rembo—were formerly part of the district until 2023, when their jurisdiction was transferred from Makati to Taguig, following the resolution of the territorial dispute between the two cities. It is currently represented in the 20th Congress by Alden Almario of Makatizens United Party (MKTZNU).
The district was created in 1995 when Makati was granted cityhood. However, its first representative-elect, Agapito Aquino, was disqualified before he could take office that year due to lack of residency. There were no special elections held to fill vacancy. As a result, Makati was effectively represented by one representative until 1998.
The fate of the second district is uncertain due to the Supreme Court ruling on the Makati–Taguig territorial dispute due to the remaining barangays not fulfilling the constitutional requirement of 250,000 residents. Makati could be reduced back to a single district. Pending legislation, the status quo of its existence, despite it being reduced to three barangays, is expected to prevail. However, since 2025, voters from the Embo barangays do not vote for the representative of this district as they were reapportioned between the two existing districts of Taguig–Pateros.
