Kibal'chich is a lunar crater that is located on the Moon's far side. It lies to the northeast of the large Korolev walled-plain, and is attached to the southeastern outer rim of the larger Tsander crater.

The rim of Kibal'chich is slightly eroded, and the shared border with Tsander has produced a straightened rim along the northwest side. But the edge remains well-defined and the inner walls display some -like shelves. The interior floor is relatively level, with the remains of a small crater rim in the southeast quadrant. There is a small ridge located near the mid-point.

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 Kibal'chich crater.
