Line U2 is a line on the Vienna U-Bahn metro system. Opened in 1980, it currently has 20 stations and a total length of 16.7 km (10.4 mi), from Schottentor to Seestadt.^[1] It is connected to U1 at Praterstern, U4 at Schottenring.

Since May 2021, the section from Karlsplatz to Schottentor has been closed due to the construction of the not-yet-opened U5.^[2] Since the closure, Line U2 only runs between Schottentor and Seestadt, totaling just 16 stations and losing its only connection to U3 at Volkstheater, as well as connections at Karlsplatz to U1 and U4.
