Kulik is a lunar impact crater that lies on the northern hemisphere of the Moon's far side. The outer rim of this crater has been heavily impacted, particularly along the northern side which is almost entirely overlaid by a pair of smaller craters. The southern inner wall is also marked by a cluster of small impacts, and there are small craters across the western rim and notching the eastern inner wall. The interior floor is nearly featureless, but a small central peak rises near the mid-point.

This crater lies about a crater diameter to the south of Stoletov crater, and due west of the large Fowler crater. To the west is Schneller crater.

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 Kulik crater.
