Olivier is an old, eroded crater that is located in the northern hemisphere on the far side of the Moon.

To the east-southeast is a younger but comparably sized crater named Störmer.

The crater lacks a central peak, and the only irregularities lie along the edge of the inner wall.

The crater is named after American astronomer Charles Pollard Olivier.

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