Polycarpus II of Byzantium (Greek: Πολύκαρπος Βʹ; died c. 144) was the bishop of Byzantium from around 141 until his death in 144.[1][2][3] According to ancient sources, he remained in office for seventeen years, but Church historian Nikiforos Kallistos mentions that Polycarpus II was the bishop of Byzantium for three years (141 – 144). He succeeded bishop Felix of Byzantium, and his successor was Athenodorus of Byzantium.
