Kepinski is a lunar crater on the Moon's far side. It lies to the northwest of the larger Vernadskiy crater, and northeast of Meggers crater.

Kepinski has an outer rim that is marginally eroded due to subsequent impacts, especially along the southwest side. The inner walls are relatively featreless, sloping down to the interior. The floor is prominently occupied by a concentric, bowl-shaped crater. This feature is offset slightly to the northwest of Kepinski's mid-point. The diameter of this concentric feature is less than half that of Kepinski, although it also has a small outer .

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 Kepinski crater.
