Nepherites II or Nefaarud II became Pharaoh of Egypt in 380 BC after the death of his father Hakor. He was the last pharaoh of the twenty-ninth dynasty. He was deposed and likely killed by Nectanebo I after ruling Egypt for only 4 months.

His name does not appear on any monument, and it is only attested in Manetho's Epithome and in the Demotic chronicle.
