The invention relates to the technical field of engines, and discloses a piston for a two-stroke engine. The piston comprises an air cylinder, and a crankcase is integrally formed below the air cylinder. According to the piston for the two-stroke engine, the piston is movably sleeved with a sliding groove, and the sliding groove is matched with a first downward one-way valve and an upward one-way valve for mounting, so that in the process that the piston moves from a lower stop point to an upper stop point, air is sucked into the sliding groove from an air hole to be stored through the first downward one-way valve under the suction action of the piston in the sliding groove; in the process that the piston moves from the upper stop point to the lower stop point, the piston compresses gas in the sliding groove and injects the gas into a scavenging hole from the upward one-way valve, combusted air in the air cylinder is extruded out, the temperature in the air cylinder is reduced, the gas which is compressed and heated in the crankcase enters the air cylinder, is higher than the air in temperature and rises in the air cylinder, mixed gas of the air and the combusted gas is extruded and exhausted from the upper part, less gas is exhausted from an exhaust hole, the combusted gas is exhausted completely, and sufficient combustion of the gas is guaranteed.
