'''Congreve''' is a [[Moon|lunar]] [[Impact crater|crater]] that is located on the [[Far side (Moon)|far side]] of the [[Moon]] relative to the [[Earth]], and lies across the lunar [[equator]]. It lies to the west-northwest of the massive [[Korolev (lunar crater)|Korolev walled plain]]. To the southeast is the [[Icarus (crater)|Icarus crater]], and due north is [[Zhukovskiy (crater)|Zhukovskiy crater]]. |
|||
The rim of this crater is worn by impact erosion, particularly along the eastern side where a pair of small crater lie along the edge. The rim and inner wall are more prominent to the west and north, while it forms only a shallow ridge to the southeast. The interior floor is marked by a cluster of small craters in the northeastern part, and tiny craterlets scattered across the remainder. |

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Congreve crater. |
