Kamerlingh Onnes is a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. It lies less than a crater diameter to the north-northwest of Kolhörster crater. North of Kamerlingh Onnes lies Shternberg crater and to the northwest is Weyl crater.
This is a worn and eroded crater formation that is slightly elongated along the east-west direction, giving it a somewhat oval shape. A number of small craters lie along the rim, particularly along the northern side. The interior floor is marked only by a few small craterlets, and some ray material from Ohm crater to the northeast.
