No, a serf was a good deal lower than a knight.

A serf was an agricultural worker who was bound to the land he lived on and was not allowed to leave it. A serf was not a slave, because he could not be purchased or sold, but he was also not free to leave the place where he lived.

The knights were the lowest level of nobility. They were at a higher status than freemen, who were at a higher status than serfs.
