Ciaran Knight (born 18 March 1998) is an English professional rugby union player who plays for Gloucester in the Premiership Rugby. He plays as a prop.

Knight previously attended Brockworth Comprehensive School and St Peter's High School. He first played for Matson RFC from a young age. This played a major developmental role for him to join the Gloucester Rugby Academy from the 2016–17 season.

His best experience was winning the Triangular International Festival as a member of the England Counties U18 squad, under then Head Coach Dave Reed, at Hartpury College last April. It included a 7–5 win over France, which was England's first victory in matches between the sides for nine years. He also scored a maiden try against France in his third game for England U18 in Cape Town, South Africa last August.

Knight helped the England Under-20s win the 2017 Six Nations Under 20s Championship [1] Knight also played for them during World Rugby Under 20 Championship in 2017 and 2018, both held in Georgia and France respectively. [2]

On 14 February 2019, Knight signed his first professional contract to stay with Gloucester, thus promoted to the senior squad from the 2019–20 season. [3]
