Kʼan Ahk II,[1] also known as Ruler B was the second ruler of that Mayan city in Guatemala. He was a successor of Ruler A. He reigned c. 478.[2]

Nothing is known of this king except that one of his lieutenants, a yajawte' ("lord of the tree"), was captured by Yaxchilan ruler Bird Jaguar II, probably in AD 478, as recorded at Yaxchilan.

His successor was Turtle Tooth.
