Tim Knopp (born September 30, 1965) is an American politician and businessman who served in both houses of the Oregon Legislative Assembly, the Oregon House of Representatives from 1999 to 2005, and the Oregon State Senate from 2013 to 2025. A member of the Republican Party, he served as majority leader in the House from 2003 to 2005 and as minority leader in the Senate from 2021 to 2024.
In response to his participation in the 2023 Oregon Senate walkout and the passage of Measure 113, which denied eligibility to run for re-election to any state legislator with 10 or more unexcused absences in a legislative session, Knopp was barred from re-election to another consecutive term.
Since January 2025, Knopp has served as the Oregon co-chair of U.S. Term Limits, an advocacy group seeking to enact term limits in the United States Congress.
