South Lancs/Cheshire 2 is a regional English Rugby Union league for teams from the South Lancashire, Manchester and Cheshire area, ranked at tier 8 of the English league system. The top two clubs are promoted to South Lancs/Cheshire 1 or North Lancashire/Cumbria depending on geographical location and the bottom two clubs are relegated to Lancs/Cheshire Division 3.

The division had a break for the 2015-16 season as the RFU decided to restructure the South Lancs/Cheshire league into three zones - Merseyside (West), Cheshire (South) and Lancashire (North). This was short-lived and the division returned to its original format for the 2016-17 season - with only Lancashire (North) remaining of the three zones.
