Frederick II (died 1396) was marquess of Saluzzo from 1357 to his death. He succeeded his father, Thomas II of Saluzzo.


His mother was Ricciarda Visconti, a daughter of Galeazzo I Visconti, Lord of Milan and Beatrice d'Este. Beatrice was a daughter of Obizzo II d'Este by either his first wife Giacoma Fieschi or his second wife Constanza della Scala.

He inherited a marquisate impoverished by the recent civil war, and in bad relationships with the neighbouring Duchy of Savoy. Therefore, he felt himself compelled to seek help to France, swearing loyalty to Charles, Dauphin of France in April 1375. In the following forty years the margraves repeatedly asked the French help against Savoy: in 1376, for example, Thomas went to Paris, asking to King Charles V that the quarrel with Savoy could be debated at the Paris Parliament.

Frederick was eventually succeeded by his son Thomas.
