  Tipits Knoll (Bulgarian: Типицка могила, ‘Tipitska Mogila’ \'ti-pits-ka mo-'gi-la\) is the mostly ice-covered ridge extending 800 m in north–south direction and 470 m wide, rising to 1060 m and forming the south extremity of Sofia University Mountains in northern Alexander Island, Antarctica. The knoll surmounts Nichols Snowfield to the southeast. It was visited on 2 February 1988 by the geological survey team of Christo Pimpirev and Borislav Kamenov (First Bulgarian Antarctic Expedition), and Philip Nell and Peter Marquis (British Antarctic Survey).
  
  The feature is named after Tipits Peak in Pirin Mountains, Bulgaria.
