Aryabhata är en liten nedslagskrater som ligger i den östliga delen av Mare Tranquillitatis på månens framsida.
Kratern är uppkallad efter den indiska matematikern och astronomen Aryabhata (476-550). Kratern fick sitt namn officiellt tilldelat av den Internationella astronomiska unionen (IAU) år 1979.[1]
Kratern hette tidigare "Maskelyne E" och var därför kategoriserad som satellitkrater till kratern Maskelyne innan den blev omdöpt av IAU.[2]

Moonmap from clementine data.png
cylindrical map projection of the Moon. The Moon's whole surface was mapped by the Clementine spacecraft in 1994, here North is at the top. The dark floor of crater Plato is at the middle top above Mare Imbrium, while the bright floor and rays of crater Tycho is near the middle bottom below Mare Imbrium. Mare Procellarum is at the near left, and Mare Tranquillitatis is just right of centre and Mare Crisium is at the near right. The far left and far right show the contrast of the mostly cratered farside with small isolated mare.
