Wan-Hoo is a lunar crater that is located on the Moon's far side, and it can not be viewed directly from the Earth. It lies to the southwest of the huge Hertzsprung impact feature, within the outer skirt of "ejecta". Just to the south-southwest of Wan-Hoo is the larger Paschen crater, and a little over two crater diameters to the northwest is the Sechenov crater.

Like much of the surrounding terrain, this crater has been modified by the "ejecta" from the Hertzsprung formation, and material from that impact is encroaching along the inner walls and interior of Wan-Hoo. Attached to the east-southeastern outer rim is a large satellite crater, 'Evans Q', belonging to Evans crater further to the east. There is also a small, relatively fresh crater attached to the southeast, and a small, cup-shaped craterlet along the western rim.

This feature was named after Wan Hu described in "Rockets and Jets" written by American author Herbert S. Zim in 1945.Fact|date=August 2007

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 Wan-Hoo crater.
