Kurigram-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2026 by Atiqur Rahman Mujahid of the National Citizen Party.
Boundaries The constituency encompasses Kurigram Sadar, Phulbari, and Rajarhat upazilas.
History The constituency was created in 1984 from the Rangpur-14 constituency when the former Rangpur District was split into five districts: Nilphamari, Lalmonirhat, Rangpur, Kurigram, and Gaibandha.
Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census. The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.
Ahead of the 2014 general election, the Election Commission expanded the boundaries of the constituency. Previously it excluded four union parishads of Rajarhat Upazila: Bidyananda, Gharialdanga, Nazimkhan, and Omar Majid.
