2 Esdras (sometimes also referred to as Ezra/Shealtiel or the Apocalypse of Ezra, which is also the name of a different but interdependant work) is a Jewish apocalypse that some many scholars purport to be written toward the end of the first century AD. It is not accepted as scriptural by most Christians, who list it among the Apocrypha. However the Ethiopian and Russian Orthodox churches consider it canonical, and it was often cited by the Fathers of the Church.

- 2 Esdras is the name of this book in many English versions of the Bible, but it is called 4 Esdras in the Vulgate and the Douay-Rheims Bible. It is called 3 Esdras in Slavonic, and 3 Ezra in the Georgian Bible. Some scholars refer to it as Latin Esdras while modern scholars usually refer to it as 4 Ezra (sometime splitting it in 5-4-6 Ezra, being 5 and 6 Ezra later Christian additions) to avoid confusion between Esdras and Ezra.
