Pine Knot is the name of several places in the United States of America:
- Pine Knot, Kentucky
- Camp Pine Knot in the Adirondack Mountains of New York
- Pine Knot (cabin), a cabin in Virginia owned by Theodore Roosevelt
Pine Knot is a historic cabin located 14 miles south of Charlottesville, Virginia in Albemarle County, Virginia. The cabin was owned and occupied by former President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt and his wife Edith Kermit Roosevelt, and used by Roosevelt and the first lady while he was president, although no official business took place there. The "rustic worker's cabin" along with fifteen acres was bought by Mrs. Roosevelt for $280 with the purchase being finalized June 15, 1905. In 1911, Mrs. Roosevelt would include an additional seventy-five acres to the initial purchase. The cabin is owned by the Theodore Roosevelt Association and is open for visits by appointment.
