Jacobi is a lunar impact crater that is located in the southern highlands on the near side of the Moon.

It lies southeast of the crater Lilius, with Cuvier to the north-northwest and Baco to the northeast.

The central part of this chain in particular forms a merger of several tiny craters at the midpoint of the floor.

[2] The crater was named after the 19th-century Prussian-Jewish mathematician Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi by the International Astronomical Union in 1935.

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