Potsdam II was one of the 35 electoral districts (German: Wahlkreise) used to elect members to the Reichstag during the Weimar Republic. It sent members to the Reichstag in nine democratic elections between 1919 and 1933. It existed nominally in the November 1933 show election to the Nazi Reichstag but was redistricted for the March 1936 election.

It comprised the southern suburbs of Berlin as well as the districts of Teltow and Beeskow-Storkow from the province of Brandenburg. It was constituency 3 in the numbering scheme.[1] From the 1936 election on, constituency 3 was reconfigured to comprise only the 10 eastern administrative districts of Berlin and was renamed "Berlin-East".[2]
