Dziewulski is a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. It lies between Edison crater to the north and Popov crater to the south. The outer rim of this crater has been considerably worn by impacts, particularly along the southwest quadrant where the satellite crater 'Dziewulski Q' overlays the rim and the interior floor. The northern rim is also heavily disrupted, and several small crater lie along the southeast rim. The interior floor and surrounding terrain has been resurfaced.

Beginning at the southern edge, a chain of craters forms a linear formation running to the southeast past Popov crater. This feature is named "Catena Dziewulski" after the crater to which it is attached.

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 Dziewulski crater.
