HMS Holland 2 was the second Royal Navy submarine to be built, and the first to be given a non-secret launch, in February 1902.

She was the second of the Holland-class submarines. Holland No. 2 was laid down on 4 February 1901 and commissioned on 1 August 1902.[2] She set the depth record for the British Holland-class, accidentally diving to 78 feet.[3]

In December 1902 she sustained some minor damage after a current took her off course and she accidentally surfaced directly underneath a brigantine.[4]

She was sold on 7 October 1913.
