The 2nd federal electoral district of Tlaxcala () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of three such districts in the state of Tlaxcala.
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 fourth region.
The current member for the district, elected in the 2024 general election, is Raymundo Vázquez Conchas. Originally elected for the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), he switched to the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico on 1 September 2024.
