The 2020 Barcelona FIA Formula 2 round was a pair of motor races for Formula 2 cars that took place on 15–16 August 2020 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Catalonia, Spain as part of the FIA Formula 2 Championship. It was the sixth round of the 2020 FIA Formula 2 Championship and ran in support of the 2020 Spanish Grand Prix.

The last team to do that was ART Grand Prix, coincidentally at the same venue.
