Kane’s 32nd and 33rd goals in his 32nd game for Bayern ensured the Bavarian powerhouse recovered on Wednesday (AEDT) from losing the first leg of the last-16 tie in Rome to win 3-1 on aggregate.
Bayern, who are 10 points behind Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga, were facing the prospect of just their second exit in 12 appearances at this stage of the competition.
But Kane broke the deadlock in the 38th minute after Ciro Immobile had gone close for Lazio at the other end.
Thomas Mueller headed Aleksandar Pavlovic’s cross back for Raphael Guerreiro to mishit it, and Kane threw himself at the ball to just head it past Ivan Provedel in the Lazio goal.
There was still time before the break for Mueller to score with a glancing header to Matthijs de Ligt’s shot after a corner.
Kane sealed the result in the 66th by firing in the rebound after Leroy Sane drew a save from Provedel. It was the England captain’s sixth Champions League goal this season.
