Vladimir II Yaroslavich (Ukrainian: Володимир Ярославич; died 1198/1199) was Prince of Galicia (1187–1189, 1189–1198/99).[1] He was profligate by nature.[2] He was from the Rurikid dynasty.[2][1]

He lived a debauched life and was politically ineffectual.[1] Due to the strife between Vladimir and his stepbrother, Oleg Yaroslavich and to the interference of Prince Roman the Great and King Béla III of Hungary, his reign in Galicia was characterized by troubles.[2] Only the protection that his uncle, Prince Vsevolod III Yuryevich of Vladimir gave him ensured political stability in Galicia.[1]

Vladimir was the last male descendant of the first dynasty ruling in Galicia; and therefore his death created a political vacuum.[2][1]
