Herzwerk II ("Heart-work II") is the fourth studio album by German industrial metal band Megaherz. It is the last album to feature singer Alexx Wesselsky before he left the band together with Noel Pix to form Eisbrecher.

The final track, "Es brennt" ("It Burns"), which talks about the differences between Eastern and Western Germany, was included on the digipak version of the disc. The album was re-released in the United States in 2008, with "Es brennt" included.
