'''Haytham II''' ({{Langx|ar|هيثم}}) was the third [[Shirvanshah]] after death of his father [[Muhammad I of Shirvan|Muhammad I]]. Like his father and grandfather he was described as someone "''who led numerous expeditions against the infidel''".{{sfn|Minorsky|1958|p=26}} His reign saw [[Spread of Islam|Islamization]] of the region and establishing granaries for the support of newly emerged [[Emirate of Derbent]]. According to Vladimir Minorsky, ultimate aim of Haytham could be turning Derbent a dependent vassal.{{sfn|Minorsky|1958|p=58}} Haytham reportedly lived a long life but no other information about him surfaced.
