Region 2 is an administrative district in the city of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is known as the Midrand region. It borders Region 3 (Sandton), Region 7 (Modderfontein), and Region 1 (Diepsloot).

The development of Region 2 has traditionally centred around the N1, the main highway that links Johannesburg to Pretoria to the north. Housing in Region 2 is mostly formal with many affluent suburbs. Midrand has not had much significant development, so a lot of open space remains. Region 2 currently has a population of 200,000. While many people in Region 2 are wealthy, the vast majority of residents are poor: 36% earn no reported income at all.
