Narayanganj-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2008 by Nazrul Islam Babu of the Awami League.
The constituency encompasses Araihazar Upazila.
The constituency was created in 1984 from a Dhaka constituency when the former Dhaka District was split into six districts: Manikganj, Munshiganj, Dhaka, Gazipur, Narsingdi, and Narayanganj.
Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census. The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.
Nazrul Islam Babu was re-elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.
