سـَردوري الثاني (Sarduri II ؛ حكم: 764–735 ق.م.) كان ملكاً على أورارتو، بعد أبيه Argishti I to the throne. The Urartian Kingdom was at its peak during his reign, campaigning successfully against several neighbouring powers, including آشور.
Sarduri II notably expanded Urartian territory by conquering the northern region of Colchis, as well as Melid and Kummuh in the Euphrates valley. In 743 BC, at a battle located somewhere in Kummuh, the Assyrians, under Tiglath-pileser III, defeated Sarduri and his anti-Assyrian coalition, forcing the Urartians back across the Euphrates.[1]
Sarduri II was so confident in his power that he erected a massive wall at Tushpa (modern-day Van) with the following inscription:
- "the magnificent king, the mighty king, king of the universe, king of the land of Nairi, a king having none equal to him, a shepherd to be wondered at, fearing no battle, a king who humbled those who would not submit to his authority."
