Innes is a lunar impact crater on the Moon's far side. It is located less than a crater diameter to the east-southeast of the prominent Seyfert crater. To the southeast of Innes is Meggers crater, and to the west-southwest lies Polzunov crater.

This crater has not been significantly worn due to impact erosion, and the features remain well-defined. The shape is roughly circular with a slight outward bulge along the western edge. The inner walls have slumped somewhat, and some slight has occurred. The interior floor is relatively featureless, and is marked only by a few tiny craterlets.

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 Innes crater.
