Corneli(u)s Kok II (c. 1778 in Kamiesberg – 1858 in Campbell) was a leader ("captain") of the Griqua people in southern Africa.
[2] In 1823, Cornelius Kok II, Adam Kok II, Andries Waterboer and Barend Barends won the Battle of Dithakong, as a result of which the Griqua were spared the terror of the Mfecane.
The following year Cornelius Kok came into conflict with his brother and the Bergenaars, whom he defeated together with Waterboer near Fauresmith.
To retain his leadership, he broke his ties with Waterboer, which then led to a new territorial conflict.
