Tiling is a small, undistinguished crater on the far side of the Moon from the Earth. It is located just over one crater diameter to the north-northeast of the prominent Fizeau crater. The outer rim of Tiling crater is worn and rounded, with a small craterlet along the western edge. The interior floor is relatively level and featureless, with only a small craterlet along the eastern edge and inner wall.

To the north-northeast of Tiling and running toward the northeast is a broken groove in the surface. Several such features lie in the irregular terrain to the east and northeast of Tiling, and these are all radial to the Mare Orientale impact basin further to the northeast.

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 Tiling crater.
