National Highway 2 (NR2) is a south-north flowing highway of central-western Burma.

The highway begins at Satthwadaw, to the north of Yangon at 17°2′30″N 96°7′56″E / 17.04167°N 96.13222°E / 17.04167; 96.13222 where it is fed by the National Highway 1 and then branches off to the northwest. At Myingyan it joins the National Road 18. At this point the road forks to the east and eventually rejoins National Highway 1 near the village of Gyobinchan in Myittha Township at 21°22′59″N 96°10′32″E / 21.38306°N 96.17556°E / 21.38306; 96.17556.
