Minkowski is a crater on the far side of the Moon, in the lower latitudes of the southern hemisphere.

To the northwest of Minkowski is the flooded crater Baldet, and to the southeast lies Fizeau.

The outer rim of Minkowski is heavily eroded, and forms little more than an irregular circular ridge in the surface.

The interior floor is relatively level, with a dark patch in the northeast quadrant that is characteristic of a lava-flooded surface.

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