John Knowles F.R.S. (1781–1841) was an English mathematician and naval expert, known for The Elements and Practice of Naval Architecture (1822). Serving in the Navy Board’s Surveyor Department, he applied mathematics to ship design and naval engineering. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, he also acted as friend and executor of the painter Henry Fuseli. Knowles contributed to the modernization of naval science and mathematics before his death in 1841.
