Deep Cuts, Volume 2 (1977–1982) is a Queen compilation released on 27 June 2011 through Hollywood Records. It follows Volume 1 and takes the same approach, gathering songs from the band's catalogue that rarely get the spotlight rather than the big singles.

This instalment covers 1977 to 1982, a stretch that takes in News of the World, Jazz, The Game and Hot Space. It suits listeners who know the hits well and want to hear what else the band was doing in those years. It also works as a way into the albums themselves, and the pop rock and rock leanings of the period sit side by side here.
