2e Valthermond (before 2009: Tweede Valthermond) is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Borger-Odoorn, and lies about 16 km north of Emmen.
The hamlet was first mentioned in 1899 as "Valthermond (Noord en Zuid)", and means "the second (canal) which has its mouth (at a main canal) belonging to Valthe". The eponymous canal was dug in 1861. 2e (second) has been added to distinguish between Valthermond.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/valthermond#berkelplaatsnamen |title=Valthermond - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=10 April 2022 |language=nl}}{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/tweedevalthermond#berkelplaatsnamen |title=Tweede Valthermond - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=10 April 2022 |language=nl}} In 2009, its name was officially changed to 2e Valthermond.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/2e-valthermond |title=2e Valthermond |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=10 April 2022 |language=nl}} The canal was dug to excavated the peat from a {{convert|7,000|ha}} raised bog.
