HaMerotz LaMillion 2 is the second season of HaMerotz LaMillion (Hebrew: המירוץ למיליון, lit. The Race to the Million), an Israeli reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race. Hosted by Ron Shahar, replacing Raz Meirman, it featured eleven teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around Eurasia to win 1,000,000. This season visited two continents and ten countries and traveled over 20,300 kilometres (12,600 mi) during thirteen legs. Starting in Jerusalem, racers traveled through Israel, Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Poland, the Czech Republic, China, Thailand, and Sri Lanka before finishing in Singapore. New twists introduced in this season include a mid-leg elimination, the U-Turn and Yield Vote, the Double Battle, where two teams competed against each other in a task, and the Speed Bump. The season premiered on Channel 2 on 25 October 2011 and ended on 11 February 2012.

Painter and saleswoman Bar Ben-Vakil and Inna Broder were the winners of this season, while brothers Alon and Oren Harel finished in second place, and married Orthodox Jews Akiva and Anaelle Shmueli finished in third place.
