Knivskjellodden or Knivskjelodden is a peninsula located in Nordkapp Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. It is the northernmost point on the island of Magerøya in Northern Norway. It is sometimes considered the northernmost point of the entire continent of Europe. The nearby Kinnarodden on the Nordkinn Peninsula is the northernmost point on the mainland. The northernmost point of the country Norway is in fact Rossøya, in Svalbard, far north.

Knivskjellodden can be reached with a 9-kilometre (5.6 mi) long hike from a parking spot along the European route E69 highway (71.122°N 25.71°E / 71.122; 25.71), 6 km (3.7 mi) south of North Cape.
