Gharib is a crater near the north pole of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Gharib was first seen in Voyager 2 images. It is located at 81.3° North Latitude, 251.7° West Longitude and is 20 kilometers across. A large, dome-like structure occupies the interior of the crater, suggesting the crater has undergone significant viscous relaxation.

Gharib is named after a hero from Arabian Nights.
