John K. Renke II (born January 17, 1946) is a Republican politician from Florida who served as a member of the Florida House of Representatives from 1984 to 1990. He succeeded Republican legislator Ron Richmond in the Florida House following the 1984 election.[1]

Renke served three terms in the Florida House of Representatives and became a leader within the House Republican caucus.[2] During the 1990 election, he was defeated by Democratic candidate Phil Mishkin in what was considered an upset victory.[3]

Renke's son, John Renke III, later served as a judge in Florida.[4]
