The Beatles' Anthology 2 is a compilation album released in March 1996 by Apple Records as part of The Beatles Anthology series. The album includes rarities, live, and alternative tracks from the sessions for Help! through the sessions for Magical Mystery Tour and early 1968 sessions before the band traveled to India.

The album featured the second "new" Beatle-track, "Real Love", a re-worked song originally by John Lennon.
