Psammetichus II (also spelled Psammeticus, Psammetich, Psamtik and Psemmtek II) was a king of the Twenty-sixth dynasty of Egypt (595 BC-589 BC). His prenomen, Neferibre, means "Beautiful is the Heart of Re." (Clayton: p.195) He was the son of Necho II and wife Chedebnitjerbone I.

Psammetichus marched into the Kingdom of Judah, Philistia, and Phoenicia in about 592 BC in response to moves made by Babylon, and attempted to generate anti-Babylonian sentiment among their leaders. Wahibre (Apries), his son by the Great Royal Wife Takhuit or Takhut, a Princess of Athribis who died before him, succeeded him. They were also the parents of Merynebti Menekhubaste, Priestess of Atum at Heliopolis, and Ankhenesneferibre, Divine Adoratrice of Amun or God's Wife of Amun, died after 525 BC, who was adopted by her grand-aunt Nitocris I.
