Template:Short description Template:Infobox royalty Bakur II (Georgian: Script error: No such module "Lang"., Latinized as Bacurius), of the Chosroid Dynasty, was a king (mepe) of Iberia (natively known as Kartli; ancient Georgia) from 534 to 547.

The name Script error: No such module "Lang". is the Latin form of the Greek Bakour (Script error: No such module "Lang".), itself a variant of the Middle Iranian Pakur, derived from Old Iranian bag-puhr ('son of a god').[1][2] The name "Bakur" is the Georgian (ბაკურ) and Armenian (Բակուր) attestation of Middle Iranian Pakur.[1]

Bakur was the son and successor of King Dachi. According to the medieval Georgian chronicler Juansher, he died leaving young children and Iberia fell under Sassanid control.[3] He had two children, Pharasmanes V and one of the parents of Pharasmanes VI.
