Boček II of Poděbrady (also: Boček II of Kunštát and Poděbrady; German: Boček II. von Kunstadt und Podiebrad or Botschek von Podiebrad or Botschek der Ältere von Podiebrad; Czech: Boček II. z Poděbrad or Boček II. z Kunštátu a Poděbrad or Boček starší z Poděbrad; died: 1417) may have been treasurer or even chief treasurer of Bohemia between 1377 and 1387. Between 1403 and 1408, he held the office of Oberstlandschreiber ("chief administrator") of Bohemia.

It is not known when and where Boček II was born. His parents were Boček I of Poděbrady and Elisabeth of Lichtemburk (German: Elisabeth von Lichtenburg; Czech: Eliska z Lichtemburka), a daughter of Henry of Lichtenburg at Žleby Castle. Boček was named after the founder of the Poděbrady branch of the House of Kunštát. Boček is sometimes called "the Elder", to contrast him with his son Boček III of Poděbrady, who was called "Boček the Younger".

Boček II is first mentioned in a deed of 1375, about the division of the inheritance of his father, who died in 1373. Since Boček II was the first born, he inherited the larger part of his father's possessions, which were mostly in eastern Bohemia. In 1376 he received Lipnice as a fief from the King Charles IV of Bohemia. In 1377, he transferred the Lordship of Potštát to his wife Anna Elisabeth as a dowry. Between 1377 and 1387, he may have held the position of Treasurer or Chief Treasurer of Bohemia. In 1387 Boček II and Půta II of Častolovice bought the Lordship of Skuhrov nad Bělou and Rychmberk Castle in the foothills of the Orlické hory mountains from the brothers Jan and Jaroslav of České Meziříčí.
