Pope John II (III) of Alexandria (died 22 May 516) was the Coptic Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria from 505 until his death. He was a Miaphysite. He is counted as John III by the Eastern Orthodox Church, which acknowledges John Talaia as John I, but as John II by the Copts who reject Talaia. He was a monk who lived a solitary life in the desert until he was consecrated Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria on 29 May 505. He was famous for authoring many hagiographical writings and sermons.
