The Beneteau Figaro 2 or Beneteau Figaro II, officially designated as the Figaro Beneteau II, is a French sailboat that was designed by Marc Lombard as a one design, single-handed, off-shore racer for the Solitaire du Figaro race and first built in 2003. The boat and the race are named for the race's sponsor, the French newspaper Le Figaro.
The boat replaced the Beneteau Figaro in the Solitaire du Figaro and was in turn replaced by the Beneteau Figaro 3 in 2016.
