Papyrus 2 () is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek and Coptic. It is a papyrus fragment of a copy of the Gospel of John dating to the sixth century. It is currently housed at the Egyptian Museum, Florence (Inv. no. 7134). There is a portion of Luke 7:22-26.50 in Coptic on the reverse of the fragment.

The fragment appears to be from a lectionary. The text type is a mixed. Aland placed it in Category III. The name of Jerusalem (usually ιεροσολυμα, Ierosolyma) is given the variant spelling ιερου[σο]λ̣υ̣[μα] (Ierousolyma).

Ermenegildo Pistelli dated the manuscript to the 5th or 6th century; Ernst von Dobschütz to the 6th or 7th century.
