Fractional diffusion equations have recently been used to model problems in physics, hydrology, biology and other areas of application. In this paper, we consider a two-dimensional time fractional diffusion equation (2D-TFDE) on a finite domain. An implicit difference approximation for the 2D-TFDE is presented. Stability and convergence of the method are discussed using mathematical induction. Finally, a numerical example is given. The numerical result is in excellent agreement with our theoretical analysis
