String Quartet No. 2, Op. 36 is the second string quartet by English composer Benjamin Britten, completed in 1945. The four-movement chamber work combines lyrical, often melancholic writing with incisive rhythmic passages and modernist dissonances, reflecting Britten's mid-career development towards more concentrated contrapuntal textures and expressive contrast in his chamber music.
