Robert II of Taranto (1319 or early winter 1326 – 10 September 1364[1]), of the Angevin family, Prince of Taranto (1331–1346), King of Albania (1331–1332), Prince of Achaea (1332–1346), and titular Latin Emperor (1343 or 1346 – 1364).

He was the oldest surviving son of Prince Philip I of Taranto (1278–1331) and Empress Catherine II of Valois.

[1] In 1332, an exchange occurred in which his uncle John of Gravina arranged to surrender Achaea to him in exchange for Robert's rights to the Kingdom of Albania and a loan of 5,000 ounces of gold raised upon Niccolo Acciaiuoli.

[1] Because of his youth, authority was effectively exercised by his mother Catherine II of Valois until her death in 1346.

However, Robert's younger brother Philip II of Taranto succeeded as the legitimate heir.
