Ibn-Rushd is a lunar impact crater located to the northwest of the larger Cyrillus crater. To the northwest is the Kant crater and to the north is the Mons Penck promontory. The crater is somewhat eroded with age, and the southern rim is overlaid by a pair of smaller craters named 'Cyrillus B' and 'C'. The crater floor is relatively flat, and lacks a central peak. This crater was identified as 'Cyrillus B' prior to being renamed by the IAU.
