Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 (commonly abbreviated as PVZGW2 or GW2) is a 2016 third-person shooter video game developed by PopCap Games and published by Electronic Arts. It was released for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. It is the sequel to Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare and the fourth game in the Plants vs. Zombies franchise. The game was released in February 2016. A successor, Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville, was released in October 2019.

The game includes multiple online multiplayer game modes which can support 24 players per game. There is also a story mode which includes missions given by Crazy Dave on the plant's side, and Dr. Zomboss on the zombie's side. A hub world is introduced called the Backyard Battleground, which consists of a town called Suburbia, split down the middle with plants on one side, and zombies on the other. Each side has a base for either plants or zombies, and in the middle of the town is a park which includes a King of the Hill match called the Flag of Power. The game takes place after the events of Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, which shows Dr. Zomboss taking over parts of Suburbia and renaming it to Zomburbia. Crazy Dave and the plants go to war with Dr. Zomboss to reclaim their home.

The game received "generally favorable" reviews on Metacritic. The game sold an estimated 279,000 units, and the retail version was the second best-selling game in its week of release in the UK.
