Suess is a small lunar impact crater on the Oceanus Procellarum. It is a circular, cup-shaped feature with a higher albedo than the surroundings. The closest significant crater is Reiner, about 150 kilometers to the west-northwest. The Lunar mare that surrounds the Suess crater is marked by the rays radiating from the Kepler crater to the east-northeast.

The long, sinuous rille named "Rima Suess" begins about 30 kilometers to the east of Suess, and winds its way in a generally north-northwesterly direction for a length of almost 200 kilometers.

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 Suess crater.
