Clerke is a tiny lunar crater. It is located near the eastern edge of Mare Serenitatis in the midst of a rille system named the Rimae Littrow for the Littrow crater to the east. The crater is roughly circular and cup-shaped, with a relatively high albedo. In a valley to the southeast is the landing site of the Apollo 17 mission.
Clerke crater was previously designated 'Littrow B' before being named by the IAU.
