Hokkaidō 2nd district (北海道[第]2区, Hokkai-dō [dai-]ni-ku) is a single-member electoral district for the House of Representatives, the lower house of the National Diet of Japan. It is located in the prefecture (-dō) of Hokkaidō and consists of two wards (-ku) of the prefectural capital, the city (-shi) of Sapporo: Kita ("North") and Higashi ("East"). As of 2013, 444,440 eligible voters were registered in the district.[1]

The current Representative from the district since 2012 is Liberal Democrat Takamori Yoshikawa who had lost the previous three elections to Democrat Wakio Mitsui. Yoshikawa has been the LDP candidate in the 2nd district since the initial election of 1996, but only managed to win the district in 2000 (he won a Hokkaidō proportional seat on the LDP list in 1996 and 2005). Mitsui had contested the 3rd district for the NFP in 1996, but ranked third behind candidates from LDP and DPJ; in 2000, he ran only as a candidate on the DPJ proportional list and won a seat, before taking over the DPJ candidacy in the 2nd district in 2003.

Before the introduction of the current first-past-the-post/proportional representation parallel electoral system for the House of Representatives in the 1990s, Sapporo city had been part of the SNTV six-member 1st district.
