Hans G. Knoll (1914–1955) was a German American who, together with his wife, Florence Knoll founded Knoll the well-known design company and furniture manufacturer.

German-born Hans Knoll was a member of a prominent furniture-making family. His father Walter C. Knoll was one of the pioneer makers of modern furniture in pre-Hitler Germany.

Knoll went first to England where he opened his own interior design company, Plan Ltd. His stay in England was brief and in 1937 he came to New York. With his background in the production of furniture and his zeal for good design, he was ready in 1938 to form the Hans G. Knoll Furniture Company in small space on East 72nd Street.
