Wood is a lunar impact crater that lies entirely within the interior of the much larger walled plain Landau, on the far side of Moon. It is located at the approximate margin of the Coulomb-Sarton Basin, a 530 km wide impact crater of Pre-Nectarian age.

Wood is situated along the northwestern part of the floor of Landau, and shares a common northwestern rim with the larger impact. The inner wall of the northwest rim extends inward about halfway toward the crater midpoint, where there is a central peak. The infrared spectrum of pure crystalline plagioclase has been identified on this rise. Wood was called Crater 96.

Satellite craters

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