Joint Task Force 2 (JTF 2) is a special operations force of the Canadian Armed Forces under the operational control of CANSOFCOM. The unit's missions primarily involve counterterrorism, hostage rescue, direct action, and special reconnaissance.

The unit was created to fill the counter terrorism role after the disbandment of the Special Emergency Response Team (SERT). JTF 2 is often paired with, and typically compared to, American 1st SFOD-D (CAG/Delta Force) and DEVGRU (SEAL Team 6), and the British Special Air Service.

Most information concerning JTF 2 is classified and is not usually commented on by the Canadian Armed Forces or the Canadian government.
