Clavius är en krater och bergsformation på månen. Det är en av de största på månen och den näst största på den synliga sidan. Kratern namngavs efter jesuitprästen Christopher Clavius.[1]
Det är också platsen för en påhittad månbas i romanen (och filmatiseringen därav) 2001 – En rymdodyssé.[2]

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.
