Erenfried II (died c. 970) was a Lotharingian nobleman, from the area of Bonn in what is now Germany. According to one proposal, he was son of Eberhard I, Count of Bonngau and Zülpichgau. He could also be the same as Ehrenfrid, son of Ricfrid.

He was Count in Keldachgau, Count in the Zülpichgau (942), in the Bonngau (945), in Hubbelrath (950).

Possibly he was also the Count of this name in the Hattuariergau (947) and in the neighbouring Tubalgau (Duffelgau) (948), and also count in the Belgian county of Huy, and Vogt of the Stavelot Abbey.

It is proposed that he married Richwara (died 10 July 963) and had issue:

• Hermann I, Count Palatine of Lotharingia. Although there is record of Hermann's mother being Richwara, the proposal concerning who his father was is likely but not certain.
• Erenfried, Abbot of Gorze (same as Poppo II Bishop of Würzburg (961-983)?) (fl. 999).
