Imru' al-Qays II ibn 'Amr (Arabic: امرؤ القيس بن عمرو‎‎) was the fifth ruler of the Lakhmid Arabs at al-Hirah, reigning ca. 368–390.

As with most 4th-century Lakhmid rulers, little is known of him, and even the chronology of his reign is approximate. He was called Muhrik ("incendiarist") by his contemporary poets, because used to mark the faces of rebels with a hot metallic marker.

He was succeeded by his son al-Nu'man I (r. 390–418).
