Love is a lunar impact crater on the far side of the Moon. It is located just to the north of the Perepelkin crater. The Prager crater is nearly contacting the northeastern rim. To the northwest is Bečvář crater.

This is an eroded crater formation with several smaller craters along the rim. A chain of three small craters lie across the western rim and inner wall, and a crater cuts across the eastern rim. The inner walls have been worn and their features softened by impacts and possibly "ejecta" from other craters. The northern portion of the interior floor contains a considerable number of small and tiny craterlets that nearly form a continuous carpet in places. The southern floor is less impacted, with only a few tiny craterlets.

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 Love crater.
