Sirajganj-2 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh since 2014 by Habibe Millat of the Awami League.
The constituency encompasses Kamarkhanda Upazila, Sirajganj Municipality, and six union parishads of Sirajganj Sadar Upazila: Bahuli, Kalia Haripur, Kaoakola, Khoksabari, Saidabad, and Shiakul.
The constituency was created in 1984 from a Pabna constituency when the former Pabna District was split into two districts: Sirajganj, and Pabna.
Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes revealed by the 2001 Bangladesh census. The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.
Habibe Millat was elected unopposed in the 2014 general election after opposition parties withdrew their candidacies in a boycott of the election.
