The ANBO II was a parasol-wing monoplane aircraft built in Lithuania in 1927 as a pilot trainer for the Army. It was the first Lithuanian trainer aircraft of own design. It was eventually reequipped with more powerful engine for the Aero Club of Lithuania in 1931 before being written off after a crash in 1934.

The plane was not produced in series, yet it served as a prototype for latter trainers Anbo-III and Anbo-V/51,[1] developed by Antanas Gustaitis.
