Kidinnu is an impact crater on the Moon's far side. It lies to the south of the H. G. Wells crater and to the southeast of Cantor crater.
This is a somewhat unevenly formed crater with an outer rim that forms a rounded polygon. The inner wall varies in width, with the narrowest stretch along the outward-bulging northeast. There are no craters of note along the rim or within the interior. The interior floor is uneven, with a central ridge that runs to the southern edge.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Kidinnu crater.
