Parenago is an impact crater on the Moon's far side, behind the eastern limb. Nearly attached to the east-southeastern outer rim of Parengo is the Berkner crater. To the south-southwest lies Comrie crater.
This is a worn and eroded crater formation. Attached to the northern outer rim are the satellite craters 'Parenago W' and 'Parenago Z'. Three small craters lie prominently along the edge the inner wall in the southeast quadrant of the interior floor. The floor is otherwise relatively level and is marked by only a few tiny craterlets.

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 Parenago crater.
