Strider II (released in North America under the title of Journey from Darkness: Strider Returns), is a 1990 action-platform game published by U.S. Gold (under license from Capcom USA) and originally released for various computer platforms. It is a European-developed sequel to Capcom's arcade video game Strider, which U.S. Gold previously ported to home computers in Europe.

Capcom later developed their own sequel in 1999, titled Strider 2 for the arcades and PlayStation, which ignores U.S. Gold's version of Strider II.
