Knowlton Lyman "Snake" Ames (May 27, 1868 - December 23, 1931) was an American football player. He scored 730 points for Princeton from 1886 to 1889, including 62 touchdowns. The achievement of scoring 730 points is an unofficial college football career record, although only records set since the NCAA began keeping records in 1937 are considered official.

Ames was named to the first-ever All-America list in 1889.

After graduation Ames became the head coach for Purdue University, where he led the Boilermakers to a 12-0 record over two years.

Ames father, Miner Thomas Ames, was a Chicago coal magnate. Ames' son, Knowlton Lyman Ames, Jr., also played for Princeton.
