Fakhr-al-Din II also the Great (1572–April 13, 1635) (Arabic: فخر الدين الثاني بن قرقماز) was a Lebanese prince, son of Prince Qurqumaz from the Maan Druze dynasty and Princess Nassab.
After the assassination of his father by Ottomans, (it is thought that) he was raised in the Lebanese village of Ballouneh by Sheik Nader El Khazen, a prominent Christian Maronite.
From 1585 to 1635, Fakhr-al-Din II ruled Greater Lebanon until he was defeated by Ottoman forces and executed at Constantinople.
