Fleming is a large lunar crater that is located on the Moon's far side, and can not be seen from the Earth. It lies about a crater diameter to the east-northeast of Hertz crater, and to the northwest of Lobachevskiy crater.

The low rim of this formation is heavily eroded and overlaid by multiple smaller craters. The most notable of these is 'Fleming N' along the southern rim, while another, only slightly smaller crater cuts across the lower eastern rim. The interior floor is also marked by a number of small impacts and a few ghost-crater rims.

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 Fleming crater.
