Brent Knoll is a distinctive isolated hill and village on the edge of the Somerset Levels in Somerset, England. The knoll rises to about 137 metres above the surrounding flatlands and is visible for miles, offering panoramic views across the levels to the Bristol Channel and, on a clear day, to Wales.

The hill has long been a local focal point: earthwork remains and finds point to Bronze Age and Iron Age activity, and the village at its foot retains a church and pub serving the surrounding agricultural landscape. Today Brent Knoll is popular with walkers and birdwatchers and still acts as a navigational and cultural landmark for nearby coastal towns such as Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge.
