Hormuz-2 (Persian: موشک هرمز-2) is an Iranian naval (strike) ballistic missile. The range of this Iranian missile is approximately 300 km. It was revealed in a defense exhibition on 11 May 2014 and is believed to be an Anti-radiation derivative of Fateh-110 tactical ballistic missile having Terminal guidance instead of Electro-Optical guidance.

In March 2017, it was reported that this domestically made ballistic missile dubbed “Hormuz-2” was fired.

Hormuz-2's appearance is mentioned to be very similar to the missile of Persian Gulf (Khalije-Fars) which is a supersonic quasi ballistic anti-ship missile, which is reported to be able of targeting warships.
