Krasovsky is an impact crater on the far side of the Moon from the Earth. It is located about three crater diameters to the north-northwest of Daedalus crater. It is otherwise relatively isolated from impact craters of note, with the nearest comparable feature being Tiselius crater to the west-northwest.

The rim of this crater is relatively well-defined, and has not suffered significant impact erosion. Within the interior floor is a central peak that is offset slightly to the west of the mid-point. There are no notable craters along the rim or within the interior.

One of the faint extremities of the ray system belonging to Jackson crater passes less than half a crater diameter to the west of Krasovsky. The ray originates to the north-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 Krasovskiy crater.
