The 2nd federal electoral district of Hidalgo () is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of seven such districts in the state of Hidalgo.

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 electoral region.

The current member for the district, re-elected in the 2024 general election, is Ciria Yamile Salomón Durán of the Ecologist Green Party of Mexico (PVEM).

District territory Under the 2023 districting plan adopted by the National Electoral Institute (INE), which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, the district covers 413 electoral precincts () across the north-western portion of the state. Its head town (), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and tallied, is the city of Ixmiquilpan. In addition to Ixmiquilpan, it covers another 17 adjacent municipalities: Alfajayucan, Cardonal, Chapulhuacán, Chilcuautla, Jacala de Ledezma, La Misión, Mixquiahuala de Juárez, Nicolás Flores, Pacula, Pisaflores, Progreso de Obregón, San Salvador, Santiago de Anaya, Tasquillo, Tecozautla, Tlahuiltepa and Zimapán.

The district reported a population of 461,000 in the 2020 census and, with Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 60% of that total, it is classified by the INE as an indigenous district.
