Los Angeles City Council District 2 is one of the 15 districts of the Los Angeles City Council. The 2nd District began its existence in the Hollywood area but now covers much of the far eastern and southeastern portions of the San Fernando Valley and parts of the Crescenta Valley. The current representative is Paul Krekorian.
Los Angeles' Second Council District stretches from the hills of Studio City to the edge of Verdugo Mountains Park in Sun Valley. It includes the communities of North Hollywood, Studio City, Sun Valley, Valley Village, Van Nuys and Valley Glen.

A new city charter effective in 1925 replaced the former "at large" voting system for a nine-member council with a district system with a 15-member council. Each district was to be approximately equal in population, based upon the voting in the previous gubernatorial election; thus redistricting was done every four years. (At present, redistricting is done every ten years, based upon the preceding U.S. census results.) The numbering system established in 1925 for City Council districts began with No. 1 in the north of the city, the San Fernando Valley, and ended with No. 15 in the south, the Harbor area.
