Ioffe is a lunar impact crater on the far side of the Moon. It lies to the south of the Hertzsprung walled-plain, and is attached to the southwestern outer rim of Fridman crater. Only a short stretch of terrain separates Ioffe from Belopol'skiy crater to the southeast. This is a relatively youthful crater, with a well-defined outer rim and a d inner wall. Nevertheless the outer rim has been marked by subsequent impacts. A smaller crater lies along the rim edge where Ioffe is joined to Fridman. There is also a small craterlet along the northwestern rim. The interior floor is relatively level, with the exception of a low, uneven ridge of material that stretches from just east of the mid-point to the south-southwestern inner wall. The interior is free of impacts of note.
