Pierre II de Montferrand, lord of Landiras, was a French knight who served the English during the Hundred Years' War. He was the governor of Blaye and was executed in July 1454, due to the years-long aftermath of the Battle of Castillon.
Pierre was a son of Bertrand III de Montferrand and Isabelle de Preissac, dame of Landiras. Landiras is about 50 kilometers south-southeast from Saint-Louis-de-Montferrand. He married Mary of Bedford, illegitimate daughter of John of Lancaster, Duke of Bedford. Mary was a granddaughter of Henry IV of England. Pierre received 500 pounds worth of French coinage (livre tournois) and land from the Duke of Bedford as a dowry. After being executed in 1454, he was succeeded by his son François.
