  Fulco II van Anjou, bijg. de Goede, (ca. 909 - 11 november 958) was graaf van Anjou van 942 tot 958.
  
  Fulco voerde veel oorlog met Bretagne en Normandië. Hij was een bondgenoot van Hugo de Grote en een tegenstander van de graven van Blois. Fulco verloor Saumur aan Theobald de Bedrieger van Blois maar won Méron van Willem III van Aquitanië. Uiteindelijk sloot hij vrede met Normandië en trouwde in 954 met Richildis van Blois, de weduwe van Alain II, de hertog van Bretagne. Zij was de zuster van Theobald van Blois en dit beëindigde hun vijandschap. Fulco bestuurde Nantes als graaf voor zijn stiefzoon Drogon. Hij zou een ontwikkeld man zijn geweest met een voorliefde voor poëzie.
