Gavrilo II Mihailović (Serbian Cyrillic: Гаврило II Михаиловић; Sarajevo, beginning of 18th century – Peć, 1752) was Archbishop of Peć and Serbian Patriarch for a short time during the second half of 1752.

He was born in Serbian family in Sarajevo and entered the church service, becoming one of the main aids of Metropolitan of Dabar-Bosnia Melentije Milenković. When Melentije died, Gavrilo became new Metropolitan of Dabar-Bosnia in 1741, under Serbian Patriarch Joanikije III. As a metropolitan, he made canonical visits to many places on the territory of his eparchy.^[1]

In 1752, because of high church taxes and other issues, he came in conflict with leaders of his flock in Sarajevo, who initiated the procedure for his removal, asking help from Serbian Patriarch Atanasije II. When patriarch soon died, Gavrilo took the opportunity to bid for the patriarchal throne and traveled to Constantinople in order to gain confirmation from the sultan. His success was short-lived. On 6 October he was confirmed as Patriarch, but soon upon return, he was struck with sudden illness and had to make succession arrangements with Metropolitan of Niš Gavrilo Nikolić. Ten days later, Patriarch Gavrilo II died and metropolitan Gavrilo Nikolić was elected new Serbian Patriarch as Gavrilo III.^[1]
