'''Grumman C-2 Greyhound''' je dvomotorno [[turboprop|turbopropelersko]] [[Palubno letalo|palubno]] [[transportno letalo]]. Uporablja ga [[Ameriška mornarica]] za t. i. "COD" operacije (Carrier Onboard Delivery) - dostavo tovora in osebja na [[letalonosilka|letalonosilke]]. Večinoma se uporablja za pomembne tovore, lahko pa prevaža tudi potnike, pošto, orožje, motorje, paciente na nosilih in drugo. Tovorna kapaciteta je 4500 kg, osebje in tovor lahko odvrže tudi s padali. C-2 je nadomestil batnega [[Grumman C-1 Trader]].

C-2 je bil razvit na podlagi [[leteči radar|letečega radarja]] [[Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye]], ima pa C-2 širši trup. Prototip je prvič poletel leta 1964, proizvodnja se je začela naslednje leto.

Poganjata ga dva močna [[turboprop|turbopropa]] [[Allison T56]]. Na repu letala ima tovorno rampo za lažje natovarjanje in raztovarjanje. Krila se lahko zložijo, tako da zaseda manj prostora na letalonosilki. 

Posebnost letala so štirje vertikalni stabilizatorji, to konfiguracijo so izbrali, ker bi bil en stabilizator previsok. Zunanji stabilizatorji se nahajajo za propelerji, zato lahko smerno krmilo deluje efektivno tudi pri manjših hitrostih.

Originalna življenjska doba je bil 10000 ur ali 15000 pristankov na letalonosilko, potem so z modifikicajo to podaljšali na 15000 ur ali 36000 pristankov. Tako bodo letala ostala v uporabi do leta 2027.
