John II of Chalon, Count of Auxerre

John II of Chalon (1292–c. 1362), son of William the Great, was a count who kept minting his own coin against the wishes of the French crown. He became count of Auxerre on his father's death in 1304, inherited Tonnerre in 1308 and ruled in his own right from 1314.

After the royal ordinance of 1315 ended his minting rights in those two counties, he is said to have struck coin at Orgelet instead, and the archbishop of Besançon excommunicated him. He minted again at Châtelbelin in 1343. The emperor lifted the excommunication in 1351 and, two years later, granted him the right to mint at Orgelet in perpetuity.

In the Hundred Years' War he was a prisoner in London in 1346 and still in captivity in 1357. His second wife Alix of Burgundy bore his successor John III.
