Eleanora Frances Bliss Knopf (July 15, 1883 – January 21, 1974) was a geologist who worked for the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and did research in the Appalachians during the first two decades of the twentieth century. She studied at Bryn Mawr College, and earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry, a master's degree in geology, and a Ph.D. in geology in 1912.
After completing her Ph.D., she accepted a position at the USGS, where she met and married the geologist Adolph Knopf, a professor at Yale University. She was the first American geologist to use the new technique of petrography which she pioneered in her life's work - the study of Stissing Mountain.
