Gaius Pius Esuvius Tetricus, better known as Tetricus II, was the son and heir of Tetricus I, emperor of the Gallic Empire from 271 to 274 AD.

In 273, he was given the title of Caesar alongside that of princeps iuventutis, and in January 274 he started his first consulship, together with his father.
