Clannad 2 is the second studio album by Irish group Clannad, released in 1974 on Gael Linn Records. The album is primarily Irish traditional music, in both Irish Gaelic and English, delivered in the band's early style: a mixture of folk acoustic, folk rock, and some jazz influences. However, it also included a Scottish Gaelic waulking song, "Dhèanainn Sùgradh", as well as their arrangement of an instrumental Breton folk dance, "Rince Briotánach (Gavoten ar Menez)".
