Ibn-Rushd is a lunar impact crater located to the northwest of the larger crater Cyrillus.
To the northwest is the crater Kant and to the north is Mons Penck, a mountain promontory.
The crater is somewhat eroded with age, and the southern rim is overlain by a pair of smaller craters named Cyrillus B and C. The crater floor is relatively flat, and lacks a central peak.
In 1976 the crater was named after Ibn Rushd (Latinized as Averroes),[1] the 12th-century Muslim polymath from the Islamic Spain, whose many scientific accomplishments included analysis of the lunar surface.
Prior to that, it was identified as Cyrillus B.
