thumb|The large and relatively young lunar impact crater [[Tycho (lunar crater)|Tycho taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. ]]
This is a list of named lunar craters, which are a small proportion of the overall crater population. Most of these features are impact craters; only some pertain to volcanism on the Moon. The crater nomenclature is governed by the International Astronomical Union, and this listing only includes features that are officially recognized by that scientific society.
