Walnut Knob is the name of several landforms in West Virginia.

Walnut Knob in Fayette County, (elev. 3,442 ft.), rises prominently above the rolling landscape of parts of southern Fayette and northern Raleigh County. The summit is sometimes defined as the southernmost summit on Sewell Mountain, but also as a lofty outlier, a prominence on Walnut Ridge, which extends westward from Ford Knob on Sewell.
