M.F. Horn Two is a 1972 big band jazz album by Canadian jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson. It features cover versions of many songs that were popular in the years leading up to its production, including: "Theme from Shaft" by Isaac Hayes, "Country Road" by James Taylor, "Mother" by John Lennon, "Spinning Wheel" by David Clayton-Thomas and "Hey Jude" by The Beatles. It also features a track called "Free Wheeler" written by another highly regarded jazz trumpeter and flugelhorn player, Kenny Wheeler.

"His trumpet playing is frequently brilliant throughout this LP with his English orchestra but not too many jazz purists will be thrilled by his renditions of (popular songs)…”

M.F. Horn Two was reissued on CD in 2007 on Wounded Bird 3170.
