Penov Knoll (, ) is the partially ice-free hill of elevation 155 m at the northern foot of Imeon Range on Smith Island, South Shetland Islands in Antarctica, forming the island's northeast extremity Cape Smith. It is located 2.9 km northeast of Matochina Peak, and connected on the southwest to the mainland of the island by a 400 m wide isthmus of elevation 76 m.
