Scheele is a tiny, bowl-shaped lunar impact crater that lies on the Oceanus Procellarum, to the south of the small Wichmann crater. To the southwest is the flooded Letronne crater remnant. Just to the west of Scheele crater are several low ridges projecting above the surface of the lunar mare.
This crater was previously designated 'Letronne D' before being named by the IAU.
