Maine's 2nd congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Maine. Covering 27,326 square miles (70,770 km2), it comprises nearly 92% of the state's total land area. The district comprises most of the land area north of the Portland and Augusta metropolitan areas. It includes the cities of Lewiston, Bangor, Auburn, and Presque Isle. The district is represented by Democrat Jared Golden, who took office in 2019.

It is the largest district by area east of the Mississippi River, and the 24th largest overall. It is the second-most rural district in the United States, with 72% of its population in rural areas, and it has the second highest proportion of non-Hispanic White residents (90.9%); only Kentucky's 5th congressional district exceeds it in the two categories.[2] It voted for Republican Donald Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024 and notably voted for Democratic Representative Jared Golden in both the 2020 and 2024 elections. It was one of 6 congressional districts in 2020 and 13 districts in 2024 that voted for Donald Trump for president while simultaneously electing a Democrat to the House of Representatives.[3]
