      \textit{E. Brieskorn} has calculated the fundamental groups of the regular orbit spaces of the finite real reflection groups acting on complex Euclidean space [Invent. Math. 12, 57--61 (1971; Zbl 0204.56502)]. Using \textit{G. C. Shephard} and \textit{J. A. Todd}'s classification of the irreducible finite unitary groups generated by reflections [Can. J. Math. 6, 274--304 (1954; Zbl 0055.14305)] the author calculated in this paper the fundamental groups of their regular orbit spaces for \( n=2 \). Let \( G \) be an irreducible finite unitary group (of dimension 2) generated by reflections. Then \( G \) belongs to one of the following classes: (1) imprimitive groups \( G(m, p, 2) \) derived from the dihedral group, (2) the four primitive groups derived from the tetrahedral group, (3) the eight primitive groups derived from octahedral group, (4) the seven primitive groups derived from icosahedral group. Let \( \Sigma \) be the set consisting of all the reflections in \(G\). For \( s \in \Sigma, H_{s} \) means the hyperplane of fixed points of s. Let \( Y_{G}=\mathbb{C}^{2}-\cup H_{s} \) and \( X_{G}=Y_{G} / G \). Then \( \pi_{1}\left(X_{G}\right) \) is one of the following groups: \[ s \in \Sigma \] \[ \left\langle g_{1}, g_{2} \mid g_{1} g_{2} \ldots=g_{2} g_{1} \ldots\right\rangle=\text { Artin group of type } I_{2}(m), \] \( m \) factors \( m \) factors \[ \begin{array}{c} \left\langle g_{1}, g_{2}, g_{3} \mid g_{1} g_{2}=g_{2} g_{1}, g_{1} g_{3}=g_{3} g_{1}\right\rangle=\text { Artin group of type } A_{1} \times \tilde{A}_{1}, \\ \left\langle g_{1}, g_{2} \mid g_{1}^{3}=g_{2}^{4}\right\rangle=K_{3,4} \text { or }\left\langle g_{1}, g_{2} \mid g_{1}^{3}=g_{2}^{5}\right\rangle=K_{3,5}. \end{array} \]
