Scaliger is a prominent lunar impact crater in the southern hemisphere on the far side of the Moon.

The outer wall of Scaliger is somewhat polygonal in shape, especially in the southern half.

The inner wall of Scaliger's rim displays terraces, and a notable outer rampart overlaying the floor of Milne.

The interior floor of Scaliger is relatively flat, with a rough surface near the inner wall.

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