Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo is a 1984 American breakdancing musical film directed by Sam Firstenberg that is a sequel to Breakin', released seven months earlier the same year by the same producers, Tri-Star Pictures. In markets where the earlier film was titled Breakdance, the sequel was released as Breakdance 2: Electric Boogaloo. Another sequel, Rappin' (also known as Breakdance 3), was produced but with an unconnected plot and different lead characters; only Ice-T appears in all three films.

The subtitle "Electric Boogaloo" has entered the popular-culture lexicon as a snowclone nickname to denote an archetypal sequel.
