In this work we prove that the initial value problem (IVP) associated to the
two-dimensional Benjamin-Ono equation ut+HΔu+uuxu(x,y,0)=0,(x,y)∈T2,t∈R,=u0(x,y),}, where $\mathcal
HdenotestheHilberttransformwithrespecttothevariablexand\DeltaistheLaplacianwithrespecttothespatialvariablesxandy$, is locally
well-posed in the periodic Sobolev space Hs(T2), with s>7/4.
