Euthydemus II (Greek: , Euthýdēmos) was a Greco-Bactrian king who ruled in Bactria sometime between 190–180 BC.
Rule Son of Demetrius I of Bactria, Euthydemus II became king in the 180s BC, either after his father's death or as a sub-king to him. The style and rare nickel alloys of his coins associates him closely in time with the king Agathocles but their precise relation remains uncertain. Euthydemus is pictured as a boy on his coins and most likely died very young.
He was the last Euthydemid ruler of the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom and perhaps related with king Xiutu of Gansu.Lucas, Christopoulos; Dionysian rituals and the Golden Zeus of China pp. http://www.sino-platonic.org/complete/spp326_dionysian_rituals_china.pdf pp.68–112
