Oppenheimer is a large lunar impact crater that lies on the Far side of the Moon. It lies along the western outer rampart of the immense walled plain Apollo. Nearby features of note include the dark-floored crater Maksutov to the southwest, and Davisson to the west-southwest. The latter intrudes into the eastern rim of Leibnitz, a feature about 20% larger than Oppenheimer.
This formation dates to the Nectarian period of the lunar geologic timescale. the crater was known as Crater 382.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Oppenheimer.
