Constantine II (), also Kostandin II, (unknown – after February 17, 1129) was the fourth lord of Armenian Cilicia (1129/1130).

The Chronique Rimée de la Petite Arménie (“The Rhymed Chronicle of Armenia Minor”) of Vahram of Edessa records that he was the son of Thoros I, lord of Armenian Cilicia. His mother's name is not known.

He and his father's deaths occurred during 1129.

''After the death of Thoros, his only son and heir was cast into prison by some wicked people, who administered to him a poisonous drug, thus the principality came to [[Leo I, Prince of Armenia

Other historians (e.g., Jacob G. Ghazarian, Vahan M. Kurkjian) suggest that there were no successors for Toros. and was succeeded by Leon I.
