Šafařík is a small lunar impact crater on the far side of the Moon. It lies due north of Tiselius crater and to the east-southeast of Sharonov crater. This is a worn and eroded crater with smaller impacts along the rim to the east and northwest. The remainder of the worn rim and the interior are relatively featureless.
