Perkin is a lunar impact crater that is located in the northern hemisphere on the Moon's far side. Just to the southeast is the somewhat smaller Guillaume crater, and to the west-southwest lies Dunér crater. To the northwest of Perkin is the large D'Alembert walled plain.

This is a worn and eroded crater formation with an outer rim that has been reshaped by several subsequent impacts. Laid along the inner wall to the east-northeast is a small crater. Small craterlets lie along the southern inner wall and the northwestern rim. Several smaller craterlets cut across the rim along the southwest and north.
