Ext2Fsd (short for Ext2 File System Driver) is a free Installable File System driver written in C for the Microsoft Windows operating system family. It facilitates read and write access to the ext2, ext3 and ext4 file systems.

The driver can be installed on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8,[3] Windows 10, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2.[1] Support for Windows NT was dropped in version 0.30.[4]

The program Ext2Mgr can optionally be installed additionally to manage drive letters and such. Since 2017 the application has effectively been abandonware as its author seemingly disappeared in August, 2020.
