Nöther is a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. It is located in the far northern latitudes, to the northwest of the Poczobutt walled-plain. About two crater diameters to the north-northwest of Nöther lies Niepce crater.
This is an old, eroded feature with an outer rim that has become round-shouldered and marked with several small craterlets. The inner wall is narrower along the northeast side, while the southern half is the most heavily marked by impacts. The interior floor is nearly level and featureless, with only a small craterlet near the north-northeastern inner wall and a tiny crater in the south-southwest.

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 Nöther crater.
