Cináed mac Maíl Coluim (moderni gelski: Coinneach mac Mhaoil Chaluim[1] angliciziran kao Kenneth II, nadimak An Fionnghalach, "Bratoubica";[2] before 954 – 995) bio je kralj Škota (Albe). Bio je sin kralja Malcolma I (Máel Coluim mac Domnaill), a naslijedio je kralja Cuiléna (Cuilén mac Iduilb) nakon njegove smrti od strane Amdarcha od Strathclydea 971.
Vladavinu su mu obilježili pohodi na Northumbriju, ali i prihvaćanje sizerenstva od strane engleskog kralja Edgara Miroljubivog. 970-ih je kraće vrijeme bio u sukobu sa Amlaibom mac Indulfom, sinom prethodnog kralja Indulfa, koga je ubio 977. Prema Adamu Bremenskog, za vrijeme njegove vladavine je u Škotskoj utočište pronašao danski (i budući engleski) kralj Sven I Rašljobradi. Ubijen je 995. "izdajnički", ali detalji nisu poznati. Njegov sin Malcolm je kasnije postao škotski kralj.
