The Avia BH-2 was a light single-seat sport aircraft made by the Czech aircraft manufacturer Avia in 1921. The strutted shoulder- wing aircraft was to be powered by an 18 hp (13 kW) engine - either an original Indian V2 engine or a British 2 - Bristol Cherub cylinder boxer engine . The aircraft designers were Pavel Beneš and Miroslav Hajn.

Due to limited financial resources, no funds were available for this project. Only a prototype was built and it is not known if the machine ever flew.
