Leontius II of Jerusalem was a Greek Orthodox monk and patriarch who led the Church of Jerusalem during the late 12th century. Originally from Tiberioupolis, he served as a monk in Constantinople and later held the position of hegumen at the monastery on Patmos. Following the death of Nikephoros II, he was elected to the patriarchate in 1170. His tenure was marked by his role as a representative for the Byzantine emperor to King Baldwin IV, which led to his eventual recall.
