Eponym Henri Moissan

Moiseev is a lunar impact crater that is located just on the far side of the Moon. It lies to the south-southwest of the slightly larger crater Hertz, and north of Saenger. To the southeast lies the irregular crater Al-Khwarizmi.

Moiseev overlies the southern rim of the larger satellite formation Moiseev Z. Moiseev is not significantly worn, and is marked only by a few tiny craterlets in the interior. Its rim is generally circular, but has an outward bulge and a wider interior wall to the west-southwest. There is some terrace structures around the inner eastern wall, while the western inner wall has more of a slumped appearance. In the western half of the interior floor is a hummocky elevated region.
