In this paper we consider when a Kaehler submanifold of a complex space form is Einstein with respect to the induced metric. Then we shall show that (1) a 2-dimensional complete Kaehler submanifold M of a 4-dimensional complex projective space P4(C) is Einstein if and only if M is holomorphically isometric to P2(C) which is totally geodesic in P4(C) or a hyperquadric Q2(C) in P3(C) which is totally geodesic in PA(C), and that (2) if M is a 2-dimensional Einstein Kaehler submanifold of a 4-dimensional complex space form A/4(c) of nonpositive constant holomorphic sectional curvature c, then M is totally geodesic.
