Weyl is a lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon, behind the western limb as seen from the Earth. It lies to the east-southeast of the larger Fersman crater. To the southeast is Kamerlingh Onnes crater, and to the northeast is Shternberg crater.

This is a heavily eroded crater with a damaged outer rim. There are multiple craters along the rim and within the interior, including a pair of small craters in the western half. Most of Weyl crater is overlaid by a portion of the ray system from the Ohm crater to the east-southeast of Shternberg.
