Childeric II (c. 653 – 675) is the king of Austrasia from 662 and of Neustria and Burgundy from 673 until his death, making him sole King of the Franks for the final two years of his life.
He was the second eldest son of Clovis II.

He was still a mere child when he was raised on the shields of his warriors and proclaimed king in Austrasia.
