Kondratyuk is a worn lunar crater on the Moon's far side. It is located to the west-northwest of the large Fermi walled-plain, and to the northeast of Hilbert crater. To the north-northwest is Meitner crater, and to the northeast lies Langemak crater.
This is an eroded crater formation with a rim that has been partly damaged by subsequent impacts. The small, sharp-rimmed satellite crater 'Kondratyuk A' lies on the interior floor, along the northeast inner wall. In the southwest part of the floor is 'Kondratyuk Q'.

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 Kondratyuk crater.
