Dianthus knappii, or Knapp's carnation, in Bosnian Knapov karanfil or Knapov klinčić, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the carnation family, Caryophyllaceae. It is endemic at Dinaric mountains, on the border area between Herzegovina (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Montenegro. In chromosome set has 2n = 30.
Knapp's carnation inhabits xerothermal areas on the edges of karst forest and groves, such as forest glades and clearings, with dry grassland vegetation on limestone bedrock. Its habitats typically have extreme sunny exposure, making it a typical heliophyte.
