Haqq ad-Din II (Arabic: حق الدين الثاني) (ruled late 14th century) was a Sultan of the Ifat Sultanate, the brother of Sa'ad ad-Din II, and the son of Ahmad ibn Ali.

He was the first Sultan to move the capital of Ifat to the Harar plateau (Adal) hence Taddesse Tamrat credits him as "the founder of the kingdom of Adal as we know it in its protracted struggle with the Christian kingdom [of Abyssinia]"
