Schumacher is a lunar impact crater that lies in the northeast part of the Moon, just to the north of the larger walled plain Messala.

The interior floor of this crater has been resurfaced by basaltic lava, and now forms a level, nearly featureless plain.

Schumacher and Messala are separated by a rough strip of terrain less than 10 kilometers across, and bisected by a pair of small, co-joined craters.

The northern member of this pair lies across the southern rim of Schumacher, and intrudes into the interior floor.

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