Bhola-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2014 by Ali Azam of the Awami League.
The constituency encompasses Burhanuddin and Daulatkhan upazilas.
The constituency was created in 1984 from a Bakerganj constituency when the former Bakerganj District was split into four districts: Bhola, Bakerganj, Jhalokati, and Pirojpur.
Tofael Ahmed stood for two seats in the 1991 general election: Bhola-1 and Bhola-2. After winning both, he chose to represent the former and quit the latter, triggering a by-election. Mosharraf Hossain Shahjahan of the BNP was elected in a September 1991 by-election.
