Klute is a crater on the Moon's far side.

It lies to the southeast of the larger walled plain Fowler, and east of the crater Gadomski.

[1] The remainder of the floor is an uneven plain marked with several small, eroded craters.

This crater was named after Dr. Daniel Klute in 1970,[2] a scientist who helped develop engines for the Saturn V rocket before he died in 1964.

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