The two-photon width of chi_c2 (^3P_2) state of charmonium has been measured using 14.4 fb^-1 of e+e- data taken at sqrt{s} = 9.46-11.30 GeV with the CLEO III detector. The two-photon fusion reaction studied is e+e- -> e+e- gamma gamma, gamma gamma -> chi_c2 -> gamma J/psi -> gamma e+e-(mu+mu-). We measure Gamma_{gamma gamma}(chi_c2)xBR(chi_c2 -> gamma J/psi)xBR(J/psi -> e+e- + mu+mu-) = 13.2+-1.4(stat)+-1.1(syst) eV, and obtain Gamma_{gamma gamma}(chi_c2)=559+-57(stat)+-48(syst)+-36(br) eV. This result is in excellent agreement with the result of two-photon fusion measurement by Belle and is consistent with that of the bar{p}p -> chi_c2 -> gamma gamma measurement, when they are both reevaluated using the recent CLEO result for the radiative decay chi_c2 -> gamma J/psi.
