John II of Dreux (1265–1309), called John the Good ("le Bon"), Count of Dreux and Braine, was the son of Robert IV of Dreux and Beatrice, Countess of Montfort.
Robert fought with Philip IV of France in his wars in Flanders, including the sieges of Veurne, Cassel, de Bergues and Lille in 1297. He was at the Battle of the Golden Spurs (fought near Cambrai), where the French forces under Robert II of Artois suffered an unexpected defeat. In 1304, he fought at the Battle of Mons-en-Pévèle and served at the siege of Lille. He was chosen as one of the French ambassadors who negotiated an end to the war.
He succeeded his father in 1282 as Comte de Dreux, de Braine, de Montfort et de Joigny.
"Jean comte de Dreux et Jeanne sa femme fille de feu Humbert de Beaujeu connétable de France" sold their rights "sur les château et ville de Roanne" to "Jean comte de Forez" by charter dated Mar 1293.
His first marriage (in 1292) to Jeanne of Montpensier (?–1308) produced four sons and a daughter. Three of the sons, Robert V, John (Jean III) and Peter (Pierre I) of Dreux were successively Counts of Dreux.
His second marriage to Perrenelle of Sully in 1308 produced one child, Joan, the last Capetian ruler of the county.
