'''Knightsridge''' is an area of the town of Livingston in West Lothian, Scotland. Knightsridge lies to the north of the town.
==History== Not long after the start of the construction of Craigshill and Howden began, the construction of Knightsridge started in 1968 and finished in 1980. Most of the first residents were placed in Knightsridge, Craigshill, Howden and Ladywell. The streets are named after surnames with the suffix Way i.e. Davidson Way, Barclay Way, Gordon Way, Robertson Way.
The area takes its name from Knightsridge House, a 19th-century farmstead just to the north, whose name itself is derived from Knights Hospitallers of St John who founded the nearby Torphichen Preceptory near Bathgate.<ref name=Knights>{{Historic Environment Scotland|cat=PLA |num=49081 |num2=NT06NW 5 |desc=Knightsridge |access-date=23 June 2025}}</ref>
