Delporte is a lunar impact crater on the Moon's far side. It overlays part of the northwestern rim of the huge Fermi walled plain, and Litke crater is nearly attached to the southeastern rim.
The rim of this crater is only marginally worn, although it is not quite circular and the edge is somewhat uneven. There is a shelf running along the northern inner wall. At the mid-point is a central ridge that extends to the northward.
