Le Verrier is a small lunar impact crater located in the northern part of the Mare Imbrium. To the west is the slightly larger Helicon crater, and further to the west-northwest lies the mountain-ringed Sinus Iridum bay.
Le Verrier, sometimes named Leverrier, is a bowl-shaped feature with a nearly circular rim. The inner walls display the appearance of slumping along the upper edges. The inner wall and floor to the southeast appears more irregular than elsewhere.
