Template:Lunar crater Vitello is a lunar crater that lies along the southern edge of the small Mare Humorum, in the southwest part of the Moon's near side. It lies just to the east of the lava-flooded Lee crater. To the northeast along the edge of the lunar mare is the Rupes Kelvin, an irregular fault line.

This crater has a low, roughly circular rim with a sharp edge. The interior floor is irregular, rugged and hilly, with a smaller, concentric crater offset to the east of the mid-point. A low ridge projects out from the northwest rim into the mare.
