Giovanni II Chiaramonte (c. 1290–1342), known as il Giovane, was a Sicilian nobleman of the Chiaramonte family and the son of Manfredi I Chiaramonte. On his father’s death he inherited the County of Modica, and through his marriage to Eleonora, a natural daughter of King Frederick III of Sicily, strengthened the family’s alliance with the crown. He died in 1342 without legitimate male heirs, and the county passed to his cousin Manfredi II Chiaramonte.
