Misael Torres Urrea (; born ), commonly referred to by his alias "El M2", is a Mexican convicted drug lord and former high-ranking leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, a criminal group based in Sinaloa. He is the son of Javier Torres Félix (alias "El JT"), a former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel who worked under Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, one of Mexico's most-wanted men. In addition to his involvement in organized crime, he held a government post as syndic for a rural community in Cosalá, Sinaloa. He was the only candidate to run for this position, and held the role for less than a year. Torres Urrea first came to public attention in 2008, when the Mexican Army discovered a photo of him with uncle Manuel Torres Félix (alias "El M1") following a raid in one of his uncle's ranches.

Since then investigators have linked him to the Sinaloa Cartel and considered him one of the 122 most-wanted men in Mexico.
