En-anna-tum II was king of Lagash, circa 2400 BC.

Enannatum II (Sumerian: 𒂗𒀭𒈾𒁺, EN.AN.NA-tum2), son of Entemena, was Ensi (governor) of Lagash.[2][3]

Only a few inscriptions of Enannatum II are known, suggesting a short reign.

He had a son named Lummadur, the last representative of the house of Ur-Nanshe, who apparently never held an official title.[9] It seems that the power of Lagash waned at this point, and that other territories such as Umma ("Gishban") and Kish prevailed.[9]

Enannatum II was the last member of the family of Ur-Nanshe.[7] He was succeeded by a priest named Enentarzi.[3]
