Knocknafenaig is a ruined township on the Isle of Mull, Scotland.
The Ruins of Knocknafenaig are located in the south-western portion of the island known as the Ross of Mull. Knocknafenaig is an extremely well preserved township that shows many characteristics of 19th and early 20th century living conditions. Although it is believed to have had medieval settlements, almost no evidence remains of these due to their organic nature. Among the many ruins is a well preserved corn-drying kiln and house, known as Braigh. The Braigh is the last remaining thatched builing in the Ross of Mull and was inhabited until the mid 1980s.
Its name in Scottish Gaelic is Cnoc na Fennaig, translated as "Hill of the Lazybeds", refers to the type of cultivation used throughout the area.
In 1779 the township had a population of 70. After the Highland Clearances and the Potato Famine in the mid 1800s the township became more deserted.
