Papa Eftim II (born Yiorghos Karahisarithis; Greek: Γιώργος Καραχισαρίδης, later changed to Turgut Erenerol; 1920, Ankara – 9 May 1991, Istanbul) was the elder son of Papa Eftim I, the founder of the Autocephalous Turkish Orthodox Patriarchate, an unrecognised Orthodox Christian denomination, with strong influences from Turkish nationalist ideology.

Karahisarithis was a doctor of medicine by profession. He became patriarch after Papa Eftim I resigned in 1962 due to ill health. While his father survived until 14 March 1968, Eftim II took over office ruling from 1962 until his death on 9 May 1991. He was succeeded by his younger brother Papa Eftim III.
