Ward in Belfast, Northern Ireland

Knock is an electoral ward in east Belfast, Northern Ireland, forming part of the city's suburban belt. The name comes from the Irish "cnoc" meaning hill, and the area is largely residential with a mix of mid‑20th century housing, pockets of newer development and several small green spaces; it sits within easy commuting distance of the city centre and is served by regular bus routes.
Historically farmland that expanded with 20th‑century suburban growth, Knock today has a local economy focused on services, schools and retail, with many residents working elsewhere in the city. The ward has a family‑orientated, community feel with active local groups and occasional regeneration projects, and it contributes to the broader character of east Belfast, including representation in the Belfast East political area and governance under Belfast City Council.
