Nesbanebdjed II, or in Hellenized form, Smendes II, was a High Priest of Amun at Thebes in Ancient Egypt. He governed from about 992 BC to 990 BC.
Smendes was one of the sons of Menkheperre and Isetemjeb III or Istemkheb. He married his sister Henuttauy II or Henttawy II and had a daughter, Nesjons or Nesikhons, who would be the wife of his brother Pinedjem II[1].
His pontificate was short and left few traces, missing, for instance from the annals of Egyptian historian Manetho.
He was succeeded by his brother Pinedjem II.
