Schiaparelli is a small lunar crater located on the western part of the Oceanus Procellarum, to the west of Herodotus crater. The rim is relatively sharp-edged and relatively free from impact wear. The inner walls have slumped to form a shelf around much of the sides. The interior floor is somewhat irregular, but free from impacts of note.
This crater lies in a relatively flat and featureless part of the mare, although a ray streak passes along the southeast edge of the rim, making it easy to identify. A low ridge runs from the north rim of the crater to the north. Within the crater is a low central rise.

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 Schiaparelli crater.
The following craters have been renamed by the IAU.
* Schiaparelli B — "See" Zinner crater.
* Schiaparelli D — "See" Golgi crater.
