SMK Taman Selesa Jaya 2 is a day school in Skudai, Johor, Malaysia. The enrolment of students is controlled by the state Education Department of Johor. The school code at the Johor Bahru District Education Office is JEA 1084.[1] It does not have a formal name in English but it is usually translated as Selesa Jaya Secondary School 2.

To highlight its independence and identity, there have been attempts to change the school name.
