Alexandru II Mircea (3 March 1529 – 11 September 1577) was a Voivode or Prince of Wallachia from 1568 to 1574 and 1574 to 1577.

Raised by the Turks in Istanbul, he hardly knew his country of origin before gaining the throne of Wallachia.

Like his great-grandfather Vlad III Dracula, he was known for cruelty, by slaughtering dissident boyars.

Eventually, Alexandru was poisoned by noblemen claiming to be loyal to him.
