Kreiken is a small lunar crater that is located near the eastern limb of the Moon. It lies to the south of the Kiess crater and the Mare Smythii. Just to the south-southwest is the smaller Elmer crater, and to the west is Dale crater.
Only the western part of this crater's rim survives nearly intact, the remainder forming a faint outline on the surface. There is a small crater lying across eastern rim. The interior floor is unremarkable, with no features of interest.
