Knoxville is a small place in Greene County, Alabama, United States. It's called an "unincorporated community." This means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's managed by the county.

Knoxville is easy to find because it's right where two big highways meet. These are Interstate 20 and Interstate 59. It also meets with U.S. Route 11 and U.S. Route 43. This makes it a crossroads for travelers. It is about 11.9 miles (19.2 km) north-northeast of Eutaw.

Knoxville used to have its own post office. It closed on August 29, 2009. Even though the post office is gone, Knoxville still has its own ZIP code, which is 35469.
