Massachusetts House of Representatives' 2nd Essex district in the United States is one of 160 legislative districts included in the lower house of the Massachusetts General Court. It covers part of Essex County.[1] Republican Lenny Mirra of Georgetown has represented the district since 2013.[2][3]

Following redistricting efforts in 2021, the 2nd Essex will shift south, engulfing several communities in the old 4th Essex District. The re-drawn district includes the towns of Georgetown, Hamilton, Ipswich, Newbury, Rowley, and part of Topsfield.
