Csák (II) from the kindred Hahót (Hungarian: Hahót nembeli (II) Csák; died after 1308) was a Hungarian noble, who served as bearer of the sword (Hungarian: kardhordó, Latin: ensifer) between 1256 and 1257. He was the ancestor of the Csányi noble family.

He was born into the Buzád branch of the gens (clan) Hahót as the son of voivode Csák I.[1] He held the position of head of Gora ispánate (part of Zagreb County) in 1256.[2] From 1256 to 1257, he functioned as bearer of the sword, which was a minor office in the royal court of Béla IV of Hungary (meanwhile his father was the master of the treasury).[3] Csák II served as ispán (comes) of Vrbas County between 1266 and 1269.[4]

Csák II functioned as master of the treasury for Elizabeth the Cuman, the widow of Stephen V of Hungary in 1286.[5] He was still alive in 1308.[1]
