In this paper, all rings are commutative with nonzero identity. Let M be an R-module. A proper submodule N of M is called a classical prime submodule, if for each $m{\in}M$ and elements a, $b{\in}R$, $abm{\in}N$ implies that $am{\in}N$ or $bm{\in}N$. We introduce the concept of "weakly classical prime submodules" and we will show that this class of submodules enjoys many properties of weakly 2-absorbing ideals of commutative rings. A proper submodule N of M is a weakly classical prime submodule if whenever $a,b{\in}R$ and $m{\in}M$ with $0{\neq}abm{\in}N$, then $am{\in}N$ or $bm{\in}N$.
