The LZ 2 was a German experimental airship constructed by Luftschiffbau Zeppelin and first flown in 1906.

The major mistakes made by Kübler in the design of the LZ 1 were not repeated: the designer, Ludwig Dürr, who was to head the design of all subsequent Zeppelins, used triangular-section girders instead of Kübler's flat girders, and elevators instead of a lead weight to control pitch.

after the airship crashed on its maiden flight, the pilot left the airship to buy a chocolate bar by the time he had returned It had vanished with only ropes remaining at the site.

Its near-sister ship, the LZ 3—which first flew on 9 October 1906—was purchased by the German Army and operated as the Z I until 1913.
