Planté is a lunar crater that is situated near the eastern inner wall of the much larger Keeler crater. Just to the east, attached to the exterior of Keeler, is the large Heaviside crater. Planté is located on the far side of the Moon and can not be viewed directly from the Earth.

This crater has a sharp-edged rim and an interior floor that is wider along the southeastern half, possibly due to slumped material or "ejecta" deposits. A small crater lies across the northern rim and part of the inner wall. There is no central peak, but a small crater is located just to the west of the mid-point. Low ridges radiate from this crater rim across the floor to the northeast.
