A '''neutral second (n2)''' is an interval that spans one step of the [[5L 2s|diatonic]] scale with a quality between major and minor.

In [[just intonation]], an interval may be classified as a neutral second if it is reasonably mapped to [[7edo|1\7]] and [[24edo|3\24]] (precisely one step of the diatonic scale and one and a half steps of the chromatic scale).
