Leo II of Galicia, also known as Lev Yuriiovych (Ukrainian: Лев Юрійович, died in 1323) was Prince of Lutsk and Galicia, one of the last two Romanovichi kings of Rus` (r. 1308–1323; according to some sources, 1315–23). He was a member of the senior branch of Monomakhovichi.

Leo was the son of King Yuri I (1252–1308), whom he succeeded on the royal throne of Galicia-Volhynia. His mother was Euphemia of Kuyavia. After the death of his father, he ruled the kingdom together with his brother Andrew. According to most sources, the brothers were co-kings, managing the kingdom together, but there are sources indicating that Lev II was seated in Halych and Andrew in Volodymyr, which would seem to imply split jurisdiction. The brothers' policy was aimed at weakening their principality's dependence on the Golden Horde by allying themselves with the Teutonic Knights and Poland.
