Agusan del Norte's 2nd congressional district was a congressional district for the House of Representatives of the Philippines in the province of Agusan del Norte. It was one of only two districts in the province in existence from 1987 to 2025. [3] The district consisted of two noncontiguous parts bordering Butuan Bay with the 1st district situated between the two. The northern portion covered the city of Cabadbaran and the municipalities of Jabonga, Kitcharao, Magallanes, Remedios T. Romualdez, Santiago and Tubay, while the municipalities of Buenavista, Carmen and Nasipit comprised its western section. [4] The district was dissolved in 2025 following the creation of Butuan's at-large congressional district, redistricting all constituencies to the province's restored at-large district. [5]
