Mattheus II, born Mattheus Holswig-Schliestein, was an emperor of the Empire of Man. He was the grandfather of Emperor Karl Franz, making him the father and predecessor of Luitpold I.

Mattheus strongly favoured reforming the Empire into a more democratic system of government, and even tried to draft an official Imperial constitution, handing official power over to the Council of State. However, the Electors did not like this idea, and his plans were ultimately abandoned.[1a]

Mattheus II was famous for his extravagant entrances when throwing a ball, including arriving two hours late in a Steam Tank.[1b]
