Upatissa II (reigned c. 517 – 518 CE) was a monarch of the Anuradhapura Kingdom of Sri Lanka. He ascended the throne during a period of political instability following the death of King Kumara Dhatusena. His short reign of one and a half years was dominated by the internal power struggle against the nobleman Silakala, which ultimately led to the King's death and the end of his regime.
