Jeffrey Allan "Jeff" Knuth (born 9 March 1962) is a former Australian politician. Born in Ayr, Queensland, he is married to Janine and was a painter and decorator before entering politics. In 1998, he was elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly as a member of Pauline Hanson's One Nation, representing the seat of Burdekin. He was party whip and spokesperson for Public Works and Housing until 23 February 1999, when he resigned from the party to sit as an independent. On 5 August, he formed the Country Party Queensland as a splinter group from One Nation, but on 18 February 2000 joined the larger City Country Alliance, led by Bill Feldman.[1] He was defeated by Labor's Steve Rodgers in 2001, and contested the seat in the 2004 state election as an independent with the support of federal independent MP Bob Katter. He later became aligned with the New Country Party.[2]

His brother, Shane Knuth, later won the seat of Charters Towers for the National Party. [3] He later went on to defeat One Nation's last parliamentary representative for the seat of Dalrymple.
