Clube da Esquina 2 is a 1978 album by Brazilian singer-songwriter Milton Nascimento. The album serves as a continuation to the Clube da Esquina album and the related eponymous musical movement initiated in the 1960s by a group of musicians from Minas Gerais. The album retained the collective approach, stylistic diversity, and experimental elements of its predecessor, spread across two LPs with 23 tracks.

Musically, the album establishes a dialogue with previous album songs, either through the continuity of the same song or by the presentation of similar elements. It also has been analyzed by Vinícius Mendes for its thematic relevance to Brazilian history and politics, noting that the album reflects the country's social contradictions, exploring themes of hope and despair, beauty and hardship, and the tension between historical trauma and uncertain futures. The album featured a broader range of collaborators, including Brazilian artists like Elis Regina, Chico Buarque, and Francis Hime.
