Artem'ev is a lunar crater that is located on the far side of the Moon. The rim of this crater has been modified by subsequent impacts in the vicinity, with an inward bulge along the southwest edge and a worn impact laying across the north rim. The satellite crater 'Artem'ev G' is partly overlain by the southeast rim of Artem'ev. The crater interior is relatively flat, and marked only by tiny craterlets.
The Tsander crater lies to the southwest of Artem'ev. Further to the southeast is the huge Hertzprung walled-basin.

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 Artem'ev crater.
