Lambs Knoll is a peak of South Mountain on the border of Washington County and Frederick County in the state of Maryland. The 1,758ft.(536m.) peak is the second tallest on South Mountain in Maryland behind Quirauk Mountain.

The peak is located to the south of Fox and Turner's Gaps, and marks the beginning of geographic change in South Mountain form a solitary narrow ridge to a broad highland plateau, as it nears the convergence with Catoctin Mountain.

The Appalachian Trail passes just to the southeast of the summit but a spur trail leads from it to the crest near an old fire tower and communications array. Just south of the peak the AT passes by White Rocks which provides the best views from the mountain. The Potomac Appalachian Trail Club maintained Bear Springs Cabin is located on the eastern slope of the mountain.
