Platon är en nedslagskratermånens yta fylld med stelnad lava, vid 51,6 graders nordlig latitud, intill Mare Imbrium.

Kratern är 109 kilometer i diameter, en kilometer djup och är cirka 3480 miljoner år (bara något yngre än Mare Imbrium).

Kratern är uppkallad efter den grekiske filosofen och matematikern Platon.

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.
