Chebyshev is a large lunar impact crater that lies in the southern hemisphere on the far side of the Moon.

The outer rampart of Langmuir spills into the interior, forming a rough patch in the southeastern floor.

A short chain of small craters has formed a gouge from the western inner wall reaching almost to the midpoint.

In the south is the bowl-shaped satellite crater Chebyshev N, a nearly symmetrical formation except for a slight outward bulge to the southwest.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Chebyshev.
