{{Short description|Duke of Pomerania}}
thumb | right'''Barnim II''' ({{circa}} 1277 – 28 May 1295) was [Duke of Pomerania](/source/Duke_of_Pomerania).

Son of Duke [Barnim I](/source/Barnim_I) and his third wife, [Mechtild of Brandenburg](/source/Matilda_of_Brandenburg%2C_Duchess_of_Pomerania), Barnim's father died in 1278 when he was still a child. He was titular co-ruler with younger brother [Otto I](/source/Otto_I%2C_Duke_of_Pomerania) and his much older half-brother [Bogislaw IV](/source/Bogislaw_IV%2C_Duke_of_Pomerania), in whose hands effective power lay. Protected by his mother, Barnim had no real power until 1294 when he and Otto gained a share in ruling Pomerania.

He was killed the following year, in the [Ueckermünder Heide](/source/Ueckerm%C3%BCnder_Heide), by an irate husband whose wife he had seduced. He left no children and Pomerania was ruled by Bogislaw and Otto after his death.
