Numerov is a lunar impact crater that is located on the Moon's far side, deep in the southern hemisphere.

The rim and inner wall of Numerov has undergone considerable erosion, and much of the eastern side is pock-marked by small craterlets.

There is a small, very eroded crater attached to the exterior to the southeast, and Numerov Z is nearly connected to the northern rim.

The interior floor of Numerov is relatively level, but with a central peak formation at the midpoint and some low ridges just to the south.

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