Scopas is a crater on Mercury, near the south pole.

Its name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1976, after the ancient Greek sculptor and architect Scopas,[1] following the official convention of naming craters on Mercury after historically significant artists, musicians, painters, and authors.

The northern rims of these craters are in permanent shadow.

[3] Ictinus crater is immediately to the northeast of Scopas.
