Île-de-France tramway Line 2 (T2; French: Ligne 2 du tramway d'Île-de-France) is part of the modern tram network of the Île-de-France region of France. It connects the commune of Bezons in the north to the Porte de Versailles Métro station in Paris in the south, serving Hauts-de-Seine and its La Défense business district. It is one of the busiest tram lines in France.

The line has been operated by the RATP since its opening, under the authority of Île-de-France Mobilités (IDFM). Future operation of line will become subject to a competitive bidding process in November 2029.

The line has a length of 17.9 km (11.1 mi) and 24 stations. The initial section between La Défense station and Issy–Val de Seine station opened in July 1997, uses a former heavy rail line converted into light rail (Ligne de Puteaux à Issy-Plaine), whereas the further extensions on both ends opened in November 2009 and November 2012 feature segregated on-street running. The line is particularly scenic between Parc de Saint-Cloud and Musée de Sèvres stations, as it runs along the Seine.
