Davao de Oro's 2nd congressional district is a congressional district for the House of Representatives of the Philippines in the province of Davao de Oro, formerly Compostela Valley. It was created ahead of the 1998 Philippine House of Representatives elections by Republic Act No. 8470 that established the province initially named Compostela Valley. The district encompasses two noncontiguous areas of Davao de Oro: Laak in the Davao–Agusan Trough and the valley and coastal municipalities adjoining the provincial capital of Nabunturan, namely Mabini, Maco, Mawab and Pantukan. Much of these areas were previously within Davao del Norte's 2nd district. Ruwel Peter S. Gonzaga of the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) currently serves as this district's representative in the 19th Congress, the first under the province's new name of Davao de Oro.
