John Bradford Knott (born April 17, 1986) is an American attorney and politician who is the member for the United States House of Representatives in North Carolina's 13th congressional district.

Knott attended St. David's School in Raleigh, North Carolina. He earned his bachelor's degree from Baylor University and his Juris Doctor degree from the Wake Forest University School of Law. Knott worked as a federal prosecutor in the office of the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina.

Knott ran for the United States House of Representatives seat for North Carolina's 13th congressional district in the 2024 elections. He advanced to a runoff election against Kelly Daughtry, who finished in first place with 27% of the vote, while Knott obtained about 19%. After Donald Trump and Americans for Prosperity endorsed Knott, Daughtry dropped out of the race, leaving Knott to become the Republican nominee. He won the November election.

Knott's father, Joe, was an assistant U.S. attorney.
