Sanghatissa II (reigned c. 614 CE) was a monarch of the Anuradhapura Kingdom of Sri Lanka. Formerly the Sword-Bearer (Asiggaha) to King Aggabodhi II, he ascended the throne in 614 CE. His reign was brief and dominated by a civil war against the commander-in-chief, Moggallana, which ultimately led to his defeat and execution.
