The ¥2,000 note (二千円紙幣, nisen-en shihei) is a denomination of Japanese yen, that was first issued on July 19, 2000, to commemorate the 26th G8 Summit and the millennium. The banknote is notable for not being a commemorative banknote under Japanese law, and circulates as a regular issue. It is also currently the only unit of circulating Japanese currency that uses a denomination that begins with 2.

Many vending machines and ATMs were not configured to accept or dispense this denomination, leading to inconvenience for customers trying to use them. Public perception has also played a role in this denomination's lack of use, as the note was often viewed as unnecessary or cumbersome compared to more commonly used denominations.
