Pupin is a tiny lunar impact crater located in the eastern part of the Mare Imbrium. It lies to the southeast of the Timocharis crater, and was identified as 'Timocharis K' prior to being renamed by the IAU. The "maria" near Pupin is otherwise devoid of significant impact craters, and is nearly featureless except for a faint dusting of ray material.

Despite its apparent diminutive size, Pupin crater is actually larger than the famous Barringer crater in Flagstaff, Arizona.
