Omar II ou Abou Hafs Omar ibn Abd al-Aziz (arabe : أبو حفص عمر بن عبد العزيز, ʾAbū Ḥafṣ ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd Al-ʿAzīz), né vers 682 et mort en 720 à Alep, est le huitième calife omeyyade et donc le douzième calife sunnite. Il succède à son cousin Sulaymān en 717. Omar II est parfois considéré par les sunnites comme le cinquième calife bien guidé de l'islam pour sa sagesse, sa justesse et sa grande piété.
