Richards is a small lunar impact crater that is located in the northern interior of the Mendeleev walled-plain, on the far side of the Moon. It lies about half-way between Bergman crater to the west-southwest and Fischer crater to the east, both also within Mendeleev's interior.

This is a circular, cup-shaped crater with a small interior floor at the mid-point of the sloping inner walls. The interior sides have a higher albedo than the surroundings. There is a small craterlet situated along the north-northeastern edge of the rim. The crater chain named "Catena Mendeleev" passes just to the west of Richards, continuing in a line of small craterlets from the southwestern edge of Mendeleev.
