Cnemides or Knemides (Ancient Greek: Κνημῖδες), also Cnemis or Knemis (Κνῆμις),[1] is the name of a fortress, and probably of a town, in ancient Phocis. Strabo places Cnemides on Cape Cnemides opposite the islands called Lichades and the Euboean promontory Cenaeum, distant 20 stadia from Thronium and from Daphnus.[2][3][4] The Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax, successively describing towns along the Phocian coast, places Cnemides after Thronium and before Elateia and Panopeus.[1][5]

The site of Cnemides is near the modern Gouvali.[6][7]
