Towers II: Plight of the Stargazer is a first-person role-playing video game originally developed and published by JV Enterprises for the Atari Falcon in 1995. It is the sequel to Towers: Lord Baniff's Deceit, which was first released as a shareware title on the Atari ST in 1993 and later ported to MS-DOS and Game Boy Color.

Set several months after the events of the original game, the story follows the original crew of four adventurers from the previous title after landing in Lamini, who are now tasked by people of the island to send one of their crew to stop Lord Daggan inside his tower, after becoming enraged with the questioning of his doings. Initially released as a commercial title before becoming a shareware release for the Atari Falcon, Towers II: Plight of the Stargazer was later ported for the Atari Jaguar on December 10, 1996, becoming one of the last licensed releases by Telegames for the system after being discontinued by Atari Corporation, who merged with JT Storage in a reverse takeover. It later received a port for Windows that was co-published by Intermark Corporation and Telegames on October 13, 1997.

Towers II: Plight of the Stargazer received positive reception since its release on Atari Falcon, with praise towards the 3D graphics, music and length but was criticized for its minimal story, puzzles and repetitive gameplay. The Jaguar version also received positive reception for the gameplay and controls, while being criticized for its low-res graphics. As the Jaguar version was only available through direct order and a few select retailers, this port has since become an expensive collector's item.
