Maharana Ari Singh II[1] (after 27 July 1724 – 9 March 1773) was the Maharana of Mewar Kingdom.His accession to the throne was controversial as he was deemed to have made his way clear and unopposed by killing Kunwar Ratan Singh the only child of his nephew Maharana Raj Singh II(r. 1762–1772).

The younger brother of Maharana Pratap Singh II, Ari Singh II was assassinated on 9 March 1773 by Maharao Ajit Singhji of Bundi who in turn was assassinated by him.

He reigned from 1762 to 1772. In his reign Marathas were weakened in India, but Mahadaji Scindia restored Maratha power in the North. He formed an alliance with Maratha against the Mughal Empire.
