'''Chandra-raja II''' (r. c. 836-863 CE ) was an Indian king from the [[Chahamanas of Shakambhari|Shakambhari Chahamana dynasty]]. He ruled parts of present-day [[Rajasthan]] in north-western India.<br />
<br />
Chandra succeeded his father [[Govindaraja I]] (alias Guvaka I) on the Chahamana throne.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=55}} The [[Bijolia]] inscription names Guvaka's successor as Shashi-nripa ([[IAST]]: Śaśinṛpa), which appears to be another name of Chandraraja II.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|pp=55-56}} Both the names - "Chandra-raja" and "Shashi-nripa" - literally mean "moon-king".{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=95}}<br />
<br />
The ''[[Prithviraja Vijaya]]'' eulogizes Chandra using vague terms, but little concrete information is available about his reign. He was succeeded by his son [[Govindaraja II]] (alias Guvaka II).{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=96}}<br />
