Mojs (II) from the kindred Ákos (also Moys, Majs or Majos; Hungarian: Ákos nembeli (II.) Mojs; died early 1320) was a Hungarian rebellious lord, who belonged to the powerful Borsa kinship. He was one of the most ardent enemies of King Charles I during the last stage of the era of "feudal anarchy".
His name derived from the Latin variant (Moyses) of the biblical name Moses. He was born into the so-called Ernye branch of the gens Ákos as the eldest son of Mojs I, who served as Count of the Székelys, then Master of the treasury in the Queen's court. He had two siblings, a brother Ellős (Achilles), who supported his efforts during King Charles' unification war, and a sister, who married a certain Andrew Sárpataki. Historian Attila Zsoldos argued Sárospataki is identical with that Andrew, son of Ipoch from the gens Bogátradvány, whose landholdings in Doboka, Kolozs and Torda counties were confiscated and donated to Thomas Szécsényi by Charles I for his "treachery", as he was a strong supporter of the late Voivode Ladislaus Kán and his family. Zsoldos considered the Sárpatak lordship (today in Albești commune in Romania) contributed to the increase of Mojs and Ellős' influence.
From their father Mojs I, the brothers jointly inherited Buza, Noszoly and Lak in Doboka County (today Buza, Năsal and Lacu in Romania), and Budatelke in Kolozs County (today Budești, Romania). In August 1318, Charles nominally confiscated these lands. Their seized land of Mojspályi was handed over to the King's another loyal soldier Dózsa Debreceni as a royal donation in 1322. Before his betrayal, Mojs II also owned Petresfalva (today Petroșnița in Bucoșnița commune, Romania).
