Ivan II Drašković (Hungarian: Draskovich János; 1550–1613) was a Croatian ban and member of the Drašković noble family. His wife was Baroness Éva Istvánffy, daughter of Miklós Istvánffy.
He is known as having defended Turopolje from the Turks in 1570. He became ban in 1595. He settled in Gomirje. Drašković was also wary of the Protestant Reformation.
From his father Gašpar /Casper/ (1530–1585) he inherited the title of baron.
He ruled as ban until 1606. He was succeeded by Tamás Erdődy after a two-year vacancy in 1608. His son and greatgrandson later became bans as well.
