The Second Bayeux speech was a speech delivered by General Charles de Gaulle of France in the immediate postwar period on 16 June 1946.

Two years after the Normandy landings, symbolically in the first city in continental France liberated by the Allies, where he set foot on French soil in June 1944 and in the wake of the failure to ratify a proposed left wing constitution, de Gaulle gave a speech where he talked about the shape that he wanted the French Constitution to take.

When De Gaulle appeared on the balcony of the town hall in Bayeux, the public greeted him with cries of "Take power!

He said he supported a bicameral parliament with a head of state standing above the parties.
