Simeon II or Symeon II was a Greek Orthodox patriarch of Jerusalem in the 11th century.
Simeon was appointed patriarch in the 1080s. Pope Urban II addressed a letter to him, urging him to acknowledge papal primacy to achieve the union of the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox churches. Patriarch Nicholas III of Constantinople warned Simeon against accepting the pope's offer, reminding him about the Orthodox views about the Eucharist, papal primacy and the Filioque. Simeon wrote a commentary about the use of unleavened bread in the Eucharist in the Roman Catholic Church in defence of the Orthodox practise. After the Artuqids forced him into exile, he settled in Cyprus.
