Muhammadu Attahiru II (Arabic: محمد الطاهر الثاني) was the thirteenth Sultan of the Sokoto Caliphate from 1903 to 1915.

Attahiru II was the great-grandson of Usman dan Fodio, the founder of the Sokoto Caliphate and son of Ali Babba bin Bello, the fourth Sultan.

British Commander Frederick Lugard appointed Muhammadu Attahiru II the new Sultan of Sokoto on March 21, 1903.

[2] Attahiru's reign consisted of balancing his need to both serve the people he ruled and satisfy the British colonial authorities.

The combined force successfully suppressed the rebellion, which marked the last instance of armed resistance to British rule in the region.
