"Knee Deep" is the ninth and final episode of the tenth season of the American sitcom Roseanne, the 231st episode of the series overall and the finale of the show's revival. It aired in the United States on ABC on May 22, 2018. The episode was directed by Gail Mancuso, and written by Bruce Rasmussen.

Roseanne stars Roseanne Barr, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson, Michael Fishman, Emma Kenney, Ames McNamara, and Jayden Rey as the Conner family. The series originally ran for nine seasons from 1988 to 1997, and was revived for a tenth season in 2018.

In the episode, Roseanne's knee gets worse and the family's basement is flooded. The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, and was watched live in the United States by 10.58 million viewers.

This episode marked the final appearance of longtime creator/namesake Roseanne Barr as a series regular. Within a week of the episode's airing, Roseanne was abruptly cancelled following Barr's firing, a tweet from the show's star which was construed as being racist, and was subsequently replaced with a spin-off, titled The Conners.
