Copernicus är en framstående nedslagskrater på månen som ligger i östra Oceanus Procellarum. Kratern har en diameter på 96 km och ett djup på 3,8 km. Enligt prover tagna av Apollo 12 astronauter, är kratern omkring 800 miljoner år gammal. Den har typiska kännetecken att den bildades under Copernician. Den är uppkallad efter Nicolaus Copernicus.

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.

- "Lunar Orbiter 2 oblique northward view of the interior of the 100 km diameter Copernicus crater on the Moon. The central peaks are in the middle of the image, rising about 400 m above the crater floor, and stretching for about 15 km. The northern wall of the crater is in the background. This is the top frame of a set of 3 adjoining high resolution frames, which are available in image lo2_h162_123. (Lunar Orbiter 2, frame 162-H3)"
