The CLEO II detector is used to search for the production of ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\chi}}}_{\mathit{c}2}$ states in two-photon interactions. We use the signature ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\chi}}}_{\mathit{c}2}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\gamma}J/\ensuremath{\psi}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\gamma}${\mathit{l}}^{+}$${\mathit{l}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$ with l=e,\ensuremath{\mu}. Using 1.49 ${\mathrm{fb}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$ of data taken with beam energies near 5.29 GeV, the two-photon width of the ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\chi}}}_{\mathit{c}2}$ is determined to be \ensuremath{\Gamma}(${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\chi}}}_{\mathit{c}2}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma})=1.08\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.30(stat)\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.26(syst) keV, in agreement with predictions from perturbative QCD.
