Glushko is a young impact crater on the Moon attached to the western rim of Olbers crater.

Glushko possesses a relatively high albedo and is the focus of a prominent ray system that extends in all directions across the nearby surface. It has sharp, well-defined features that, combined with its higher albedo, are indicative of a relatively young impact crater. There is a small outer , and material along the inner walls has slumped to form shelves and s. There are three outward bulges in the rim to the north and northwest.

This crater was previously designated 'Olbers A' before being renamed by the IAU.
