Serdika II Metro Station () is an M2 line station of Sofia Metro. It was put into operation on August 31, 2012 and the station became transfer station between the Red and Blue lines together with Serdika, however it is not a true transfer station (that role is filled by Obelya), but a tunnel-connection transfer station.

The initial project name of the Metro Station was Sveta Nedelya Square, but this was changed by the city council shortly before the opening of M2 line.Next Station: European Union – Sofia Council changes the names of three stations, Dnes.bg (in Bulgarian), 14 Jun 2012.
