We calculate in chiral perturbation theory the parity-violating two-pion exchange nucleon-nucleon potentials at leading one-loop order. At a distance of r=m{sub {pi}}{sup -1}{approx_equal}1.4 fm they amount to about {+-}16% of the parity-violating 1{pi} exchange potential. We evaluate also the parity-violating effects arising from 2{pi} exchange with excitation of virtual {delta}(1232) isobars. These come out to be relatively small in comparison with those from diagrams with only nucleon intermediate states. The reason for this behavior, which is opposite that of the parity-conserving case, is the blocking of the dominant isoscalar central channel by CP invariance. Furthermore, we calculate the T matrix related to the iteration of the parity-violating 1{pi} exchange with the parity-conserving one. The analytical results presented in this work can be easily implemented into calculations of parity-violating nuclear observables.
