Route 2 was a previous number used for a major highway in the Canadian province of Quebec. The highway stretched from the Ontario border at Rivière-Beaudette to the New Brunswick border southeast of Dégelis.[1] The highway was part of a de facto interprovincial Route 2 that stretched from Windsor, Ontario to Halifax, Nova Scotia, connecting Ontario Highway 2 to New Brunswick Route 2, and further to Nova Scotia, connecting with Trunk 2. It was renumbered in the mid-1970s, as part of Quebec's renumbering scheme.
Route 2 was replaced by the following routes:
| Route | Length (km) | Length (mi) | From | To | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 410NaN0 | Vaudreuil-Dorion | Connects with Ontario border today with SD&G County Road 2, formerly Ontario Highway 2 | |||
| 330NaN0 | Vaudreuil-Dorion | Montreal | During the 1960s until being renumbered, Route 2 and the A-20 ran concurrently; this stretch was referred to by Anglophone Montrealers as Highway 2-20 (or "The Two and Twenty"). | ||
| 2850NaN0 | Montreal | Quebec City (downtown) | This follows the original 1737 Chemin du Roy | ||
| 120NaN0 | Quebec City (downtown) | Quebec City (Sainte-Foy) | |||
| 20NaN0 | Quebec City (Sainte-Foy) | Lévis | Crosses the Quebec Bridge[2] | ||
| 1970NaN0 | Lévis | Rivière-du-Loup | |||
| 980NaN0 | Rivière-du-Loup | New Brunswick border southeast of Dégelis | Used to connect at border with New Brunswick Route 2; portions of the original Route 2 are along local roads downloaded to local governments during the conversion of Route 185 to Autoroute 85 |

Route 2B was a spur of Route 2. It ran along Côte-de-Liesse Road from the former Route 2 / Route 17 concurrency in Dorval, past the Montreal–Dorval International Airport, to a traffic circle in Saint-Laurent where it met Laurentien Boulevard and Décarie Boulevard (Route 8 / Route 11A).[4] [5] The route was replaced by Autoroute 520 and its former eastern terminus is now the site of the Décarie Interchange.
