Abstract
The zero-divisor graph of a commutative ring R is a simple graph whose vertices are the nonzero zero divisors of R and two distinct vertices are adjacent if their product is zero. In this article, we determine precisely all non-local commutative rings whose zero-divisor graphs have genus two.
