Ingalls is an old lunar crater that lies on the far side of the Moon. It is located to the north-northwest of the Mach walled-plain. About the same distance to the west is Joule crater.

This crater has been heavily damaged by subsequent impacts, leaving little more than an irregular depression in the surface. The outer rim is rounded and pock-marked by small impacts. The interior floor is a nearly featureless surface with a few tin craterlets. Faint traces of ray material from Jackson crater, some distance to the west-southwest, lie across the northern rim of Ingalls.

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 Ingalls crater.
