Henry II of Cyprus (c. 1270–1324), King of Cyprus 1285–1324 (with an interregnum 1306–1310 during his brother Amalric of Tyre's coup), and titular King of Jerusalem, was the son of Hugh III and Isabella of Ibelin. His reign witnessed the 1291 fall of Acre — the final loss of the mainland Kingdom of Jerusalem. He died childless in 1324, and the crown passed to his nephew Hugh IV, son of his elder brother Guy.
