The Curtiss No. 2, often known as the Reims Racer was a racing aircraft built in the United States by Glenn Curtiss in 1909 to contest the Gordon Bennett Cup air race in Reims, France that year.

After Reims, Curtiss took the aircraft to Italy, where he won events at a competition at the Air Show in Brescia in September.
