Kenneth Thomson "Mike" Knode (November 8, 1895 – December 20, 1980) was an American football and baseball player.

In 1915, Knode began playing professional baseball for the Martinsburg Champs of the Blue Ridge League.

A second baseman, it was widely known by the local newspapers that Thompson was in reality Knode, but this information never reached the Midwest.
