Oberth is a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. It lies in the high northern latitudes, to the southeast of Gamow crater. To the east of Oberth is Avogadro crater.
This is a slightly eroded crater with a roughly circular but uneven outer rim. A pair of small crater-like depressions are attached to the northern rim, and the inner wall is narrower along that section. There are slight outward bulges in the rim to the northwest and along the south. The interior floor is relatively level, with a small hill to the north of the mid-point. Several tiny craterlets lie across the crater floor.
