S4C2 (Welsh: Sianel Pedwar Cymru Dau, meaning Channel Four Wales Two) is a free-to-air British television station owned by S4C that broadcast coverage of the National Assembly for Wales at the Senedd.

The channel broadcasts from 9am to 6pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday across all platforms, and shows coverage of the National Assembly for Wales whenever it is in session along with key committee meetings and discussion and analysis. All programming are produced by the BBC.

As the Assembly is bilingual, with members allowed to speak in either English or Welsh, the service carries two audio feeds on Freeview and satellite: an untranslated feed that broadcasts proceedings in their original language (be it English or Welsh) and an English feed that translated any Welsh speech into English.

The channel launched in September 1999 as a free channel on the ONdigital platform using S4C's gifted capacity on multiplex A, and later Sky Digital and NTL. It forms part of the Freeview service and cable throughout Wales, but was available throughout the United Kingdom on Freesat and Sky.

S4C2 has more recently been used for interactive programming and alternate programming that couldn't be aired on the main S4C channel, such as uninterrupted coverage of competitions from the National Eisteddfod of Wales, the Urdd National Eisteddfod & the Royal Welsh Show, and Goreuon Can i Gymru's sing-along feature (Best of Song for Wales, a yearly Welsh music competition).
