'''Perel{{softsign}}man''' is a worn [[impact crater]] that lies on the [[Moon]]'s [[Far side (Moon)|far side]]. It is located less than one crater diameter to the northwest of the prominent crater [[Scaliger (crater)|Scaliger]]. To the west-southwest is the elongated [[Bowditch (crater)|Bowditch]]. Southwest of Perel{{softsign}}man is a small [[lunar mare]] that has been named [[Lacus Solitudinis]].

Perelʹman is a worn impact crater that lies on the Moon's far side. It is located less than one crater diameter to the northwest of the prominent crater Scaliger. To the west-southwest is the elongated Bowditch. Southwest of Perelʹman is a small lunar mare that has been named Lacus Solitudinis.

This crater is generally unremarkable. It is worn and eroded with an uneven outer rim. The satellite crater Perelʹman E is attached to the eastern exterior. The crater is free of significant overlapping impacts. There is a low ridge near the midpoint of the interior floor.
