The Irons suffered a 3-0 defeat at home to MK Dons on Saturday afternoon to leave the club four points from safety in League One.
Saturday's defeat was Scunthorpe's seventh game without a win and, according to Sky Sports News, that has been enough for the club to dismiss Knill as boss.
Brian Laws, who managed Scunthorpe between 1997 and 2006, is expected to return to the club as Knill's replacement.
