Strato II "Philopator" (reigned circa 25 BC to 10AD) was an Indo-Greek king.
He ruled in the eastern Punjab, probably retaining the capital of Sagala (modern Sialkot, Pakistan), or possibly to the city of Bucephala (Plutarch, p. 48 n. 5).
His territory was invaded by Rajuvula, Indo-Scythian king of Mathura, and he became the last of the Indo-Greek kings, together with his son and co-regent, Strato III.
