Knivskjellodden is the name of a promontory on the Norwegian island Magerøya. It is located 4.18 km west of the North Cape and 71 ° 11'08 " north latitude approximately 1,400 meters further north than this, so Knivskjellodden is the northernmost point of the island. However, he is less spectacular than the North Cape, because he, unlike this just flat juts into the sea.

As the northernmost point of mainland Europe applies the headland Kinnaroden on the mainland peninsula Nordkinn that is less well known and touristy undeveloped.

In contrast to the well-known North Cape Knivskjellodden is not accessible by car; you reach this promontory over an 8 -kilometer, well marked walk from a signposted car park on the road for a few kilometers south of the North Cape.
