Head II is an oil and tempera on hardboard painting by the Irish-born British figurative artist Francis Bacon.

Completed in 1948, it is the second in a series of six heads, painted from the winter of 1948 in preparation for a November 1949 exhibition at the Hanover Gallery, London.

The figure is set in a shallow pictorial space, and is positioned behind curtains that borrow from Titian's 1558 Portrait of Cardinal Filippo Archinto.

Remarking on their dreary and drab appearance he further speculates that they seem "stiffened by fifty year's crasse of a tenth rate lodging-house; or they could be sliding shutters that has been pulled apart to admit a new victim.

The painting contains a small arrow just below the figures mouth; the first appearance of a motif the artist was to continue using for the rest of his career.
