Comita II (or III) (died 1147) was the giudice of the Giudicato of Arborea, from 1131 
until his death. He was the son of Constantine I of Arborea, first ruler of Arborea of the 
Lacon dynasty. Married Elena de Orrubu, mother of Barison II of Arborea.[1] The 
dating and chronology of his reign are obscure.

Comita succeeded his father Constantine I of Arborea. The date of this succession is 
assumed to be 1131, when he first appears in a communication with the Republic of 
Genoa. In 1130, Constantine, Gonario II of Torres, and Comita I of Gallura had sworn 
fealty to the archbishop of Pisa. In 1133, Pope Innocent II raised Genoa to 
archiepiscopal status and divided the island of Sardinia between the two sees, giving 
the north to Genoa and the south to Pisa. In the subsequent wars of that decade, 
Comita was the sole ally of the Genoese.

From 1133 to 1145, there is a gap in the testimony referring to Comita and it is 
possible that his brother Torbeno successfully usurped his throne during a war with 
the Giudicato of Logudoro. In 1145, Comita was back in power and was 
excommunicated by Baldwin, Archbishop of Pisa. The Pisan prelate, travelling the 
island as a papal legate, had excommunicated the judge for oppressing the people 
and warring against Pisa. Bernard of Clairvaux even weighed into island politics and 
sent a letter to Pope Eugene III to justify Baldwin's actions. Nominally Arborea was 
transferred to Logudoro. Comita died soon after.
