Fischer is a lunar crater that lies in the northeastern part of the interior floor of the huge Mendeleev walled-plain. This feature is located on the far side of the Moon relative to the Earth, and can only be viewed from a spacecraft.

This crater has a slender, circular rim and an interior that has the same low albedo as the surrounding floor. There is a smaller impact crater within the interior, adjacent to the northwestern inner wall. The rim and the floor of Fischer are pitted by several tiny craterlets.
