Cantor is a lunar impact crater that is located on the northern hemisphere on the far side of the Moon. The outer rim of the crater has a distinctly hexagonal shape, and is slightly longer in the north-south direction. The interior walls are multiply d, although less so along the western rim. There is a low central peak at the mid-point of the floor.

The surrounding terrain about the Cantor crater is heavily impacted with many small craters. The old and heavily eroded H. G. Wells crater is located to the northwest. To the southeast is the Kidinnu crater.
