Feuillée is a small lunar impact crater in the eastern part of the Mare Imbrium. It lies less than a half crater diameter to the northwest of Beer crater, and the two formations form a nearly matched pair. To the west is the small but prominent Timocharis crater.

Like Beer crater, Feuillée is a circular, bowl-shaped formation with a small interior floor at the mid-point of the sloping inner walls. This sharp-edged crater is not notably worn or eroded, and lacks any distinguishing features. It does, however, lie across a wrinkle-ridge in the surface of the lunar mare, a feature that is best observed under oblique lighting conditions when the crater is near the terminator.
