The M-2 highway (Montenegrin: Magistralni put M-2) is a Montenegrin roadway.

The M-2 highway is the oldest and most important connection between the coastal region and the North of Montenegro. It goes from Petrovac na Moru in Budva Municipality, through the capital city of Podgorica, and the towns of Kolašin and Mojkovac, to the border of Serbia north of Bijelo Polje. In 2016, the highway was shortened, and its route changed.^[1] The road is considered to be the "backbone of the Montenegrin road network".^[2]

Most notorious part of this road is Platije Canyon, where more than 1200 people have lost their lives.^[3] Part of the Bar-Boljare motorway that was built from 2015 to 2022 is a new and safe connection between Podgorica and Kolašin avoiding Platije Canyon.
