Rhapsody II: Ballad of the Little Princess[a] is a role-playing video game developed and published by Nippon Ichi Software for the original PlayStation and is the second installment in the Rhapsody series. The game takes place twelve years after the event of its predecessor, Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, and features much of the same characters. Like its predecessor, Little Princess includes many musical interludes and focuses on the themes of falling in love and fulfilling your dreams, though the tactical role-playing game battle system of Rhapsody was discarded for a more traditional RPG battle system.

The game received several re-issues in Japan: twice as a budget range title on the original PlayStation and once each as a digital download for PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3 and i-αppli-compatible mobile phones. The game received an international release in August 2023. It was released as a stand-alone title for Windows PC via Steam and as part of the Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles compilation, along with its follow-up Rhapsody III: Memories of Marl Kingdom, for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5.
