Galindo Aznárez II (d. 922) was a Count of Aragón (893-922), the son and successor of Aznar Galíndez II.

Galindo sponsored the 905 coup d'etat in Pamplona, with the change of the Pamplonese dynasty to another branch allied to Aragón.

Galindo was married twice. By his first wife, Acibella Garcés of Gascony, daughter of Count García II Sánchez of Gascony, he had sons Miro and Bishop Redemtus, along with daughter Toda, wife of Hunifred Bernat, count of Ribagorza, to whom she brought Sobrarbe. By his second wife, Sancha Garcés of Pamplona, daughter of 'king' García Jiménez, he had Velasquita and Andregota Galíndez (countess 922-925), who married García Sanchez, king of Pamplona (925-970). He also sired several illegitimate sons: Guntoslo, Sancho, Belasco, Banzo, and Aznar. The first of these, Guntoslo, is apparently the man of this name who would later be count of Aragon, but with none of the autonomy shown by his ancestors, being a fully subservient vassal of his brother-in-law the king of Pamplona.
