Quebec Route 2

Route 2 was a previous number used for a major highway in the Canadian province of Quebec. The highway stretched from the Ontario border at Rivière-Beaudette to the New Brunswick border southeast of Dégelis. The highway was part of a de facto interprovincial Route 2 that stretched from Windsor, Ontario to Halifax, Nova Scotia, connecting Ontario Highway 2 to New Brunswick Route 2, and further to Nova Scotia, connecting with Trunk 2.
In the early-1970s, as part of Quebec's renumbering scheme, Route 2 was replaced by the following routes:
| Route | from | to | notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ontario border at Rivière-Beaudette | Vaudreuil-Dorion | Connects with Ontario border today with SD&G County Road 2, formerly Ontario Highway 2 | |
| Vaudreuil-Dorion | Montreal | During the 1960s until being renumbered, Route 2 and the A-20 ran concurrently; this stretch was referred to by Anglophone Montrealers as Highway 2-20 (or "The Two and Twenty"). | |
