The Algie Knoll is a 400 m high, rounded and icy hill in the Ross Dependency part of the Transantarctic Mountains . It rises between the Silver Ridge and the mouth of the Algie Glacier in the Nimrod Glacier .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named him based on the naming of the glacier of the same name after the New Zealand politician Ronald Algie (1888–1978), who in his tenure as Minister for Scientific and Industrial Research carried out the work of the New Zealand team in the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1955-1958) supported.
