Wild Knoll (Bulgarian: могила Уайлд, romanized: mogila Uajld, IPA: [ˈvrɤx ˈwajɫt]) is the peak rising to 1773 m[1] in the central portion of Bastien Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. The feature has steep and partly ice-free west slopes, and surmounts upper Minnesota Glacier to the south-southwest.

The peak is named after the Swiss natural history illustrator John James (Jean Jacques) Wild (1824-1900), a member of the British 1872-76 Challenger Expedition who took the first photographs in the Antarctic region in 1874.
