Bagrat II (Georgian: ბაგრატ II) (died 966) was a Georgian prince of the Bagratid dynasty of Tao-Klarjeti and hereditary ruler of Upper Tao, with the title of eristavt-eristavi, "duke of dukes", from 961 until his death in 966. A personality whose position within the Bagrations dynasty remains murky, he came to the throne after a coup d'état against his father but was unable to remain as ruler for long.
