Anděl is a lunar crater that lies in the rugged central highlands of the Moon. Nearby craters of note include Abulfeda to the south-southeast and Descartes to the east-southeast. About 85 kilometres to the east-northeast of the outer rim is the landing site of the Apollo 16 mission.

The eroded outer rim of Anděl has been worn and distorted into a polygonal shape, and is nearly non-existent to the south where Anděl G intersects the perimeter. The interior floor is nearly flat, with some irregularities to the southeast. There is a tiny craterlet located just to the southeast of the mid-point, but no central peak of any significance.

Anděl is the Czech word for 'Angel'.

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 Anděl.
