Civilisation II is the fifth extended play (EP) by British indie pop band Kero Kero Bonito, released on 21 April 2021 by Polyvinyl. The follow-up to 2019's Civilisation I EP, Civilisation II was preceded by the single "The Princess and the Clock" on 24 February 2021.

In a press release, Kero Kero Bonito described Civilisation II as a continuation of the ideas presented on Civilisation I, where they "explore instinctive human tendencies across three tracks, all completely devised using vintage hardware".[3] Both EPs along with an additional track, "Gateway", were merged into a compilation album, titled simply Civilisation and released on 10 September 2021.
