The Hodges Knoll (English; Bulgarian могила Ходжис mogila Chodschis ) is a largely icy, northeast-southwest orientation 2.2 km long, 1 km wide and 2250 m high hill on the southwest side of the Vinson massif in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains in West Antarctic Ellsworthland . It rises 3.12 km southeast of Klenova Peak , 2.92 km south-southwest of Brichebor Peak , 8.54 km southwest of Silverstein Peak , 7.45 km west of Mount Slaughter and 10.32 km northeast of Mount Klayn . The Nimitz Glacier lies to the southwest, the Tułaczyk Glacier to the north and the Zapol Glacier to the east of it.

American scientists mapped it in 1961 and 1988. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the British painter William Hodges (1744–1797), participant of the second South Seas voyage (1772–1775) of the British navigator and explorer James Cook , who together with Joseph Gilbert (1732-1821) had created the first paintings on the Antarctic.
