The KSV Hessen Kassel II is a German association football club from the town of Kassel, Hesse. It is the reserve team of KSV Hessen Kassel.
Until 2005 the team played as KSV Hessen Kassel Amateure during the times the senior side played in professional football. During the times the first time was outside professional football and since 2005 the team played under its current name. The team's greatest success has been a Hesse Cup win in 1961 and a runners-up finish in the tier three Amateurliga Hessen in 1967–68. The later qualified the club to participate in the German amateur football championship where it was knocked out in the first round.
The team's first notable achievement came in 1961 when it won the Hesse Cup, defeating FC Arheilgen 3–2 and it reached the final of this competition once more in 1968 when it lost to SG Westend Frankfurt.
On league level KSV Hessen Kassel Amateure became a founding member of the tier four Landesliga Hessen-Nord in 1965 and it won this league in the following season to earn promotion to the Amateurliga Hessen for the first time. The team finished runners-up Rot-Weiß Frankfurt in its first season in the Amateurliga in 1967–68. Through this it qualified for the first round of the German amateur football championship but was knocked out in the first round by the reserve team of 1. FC Köln. The season after it dropped to 17th place and was relegated to the Landesliga again.
In 1971 it won a second Landesliga title and returned to the Amateurliga and spent three difficult seasons in the league until 1974. At the end of the 1973–74 season the senior team was relegated from the second division Regionalliga Süd in a league reorganisation that saw the introduction of the 2. Bundesliga and dropped to the Amateurliga Hessen. In the process KSV Hessen Kassel Amateure became KSV Hessen Kassel II and dropped out of the higher amateur league altogether.
