Karl Fyodorovich von Knorring (Russian: Карл Фёдорович фон Кно́рринг; 22 May 1746 - 12 February 1820) was a lieutenant-general of the Russian Empire.

== Career == Karl Heinrich von Knorring was born into the Knorring family, which belonged to the Baltic German nobility. Karl's elder brother, Bogdan von Knorring (1746–1825) was also a Russian general. He served as the inspector of the Caucasian Line from March 1799 to late 1802. He played an important role in the incorporation of Eastern Georgia (Kartli-Kakheti) into the Russian Empire. He was dismissed as a result of being unable to make the area stable, as well as the corruption of his appointed officials.

== Death == He died after 1805.
