Cnemis or Knemis (Ancient Greek: Κνῆμις; Greek: Κνημίς) was either a range of mountains between the Cephissus Valley and the Gulf of Euboea combined with the Malian Gulf, or was a single mountain located in the northwest of that range. The valley formed the heartland of Phocis, where the river originated, before entering Boeotia north of Orchomenos.
The uncertainty of what terrain was meant by "Cnemis" derives from the varying accounts of the many sources. The narrower meaning is based on the home territory of the Epicnemidian Locrians, who received their distinguishing name from this mountain, on the northern slopes of which they made their homes.
