The Wild Knoll (English; Bulgarian могила Уайлд mogila Uajld ) is a 2370 m high mountain in the West Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the Ellsworth Mountains it rises 12.76 km southwest of Mount Klayn , 12 km west-southwest of Mount Fisek and 13.65 km northwest of Patmos Peak . Its steep western slopes are partly not icy. The Minnesota Glacier is south-southwest of it.

American scientists mapped it in 1961 and 1988. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the Swiss nature illustrator and photographer John James Wild (born Jean Jacques Wild , 1824–1900), a participant in the British Challenger expedition (1872-1876).
