The 2nd federal electoral district of Guerrero () 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 Guerrero.
It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative period 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 Yoloczin Domínguez Serna of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).
District territory Guerrero lost a congressional seat in the 2023 redistricting process carried out by the National Electoral Institute (INE). Under the new districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the 2nd district was relocated to the south-eastern portion of the municipality of Acapulco, comprising 149 precincts (); the remainder of the municipality makes up the 4th district.
The district's head town (), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the resort city of Acapulco. The district reported a population of 387,126 in the 2020 census.
