Vashakidze is a lunar impact crater that is located on the Moon's far side, just beyond the northeastern limb.

This area of the surface is not completely hidden from the Earth, however, as suitable combinations of libration and sunlight will bring it into view.

It is roughly circular, with outward bulges to the south and east, giving it a slightly skewed appearance.

The inner wall displays some slumping along the edges, particularly to the north and southeast, but little terrace development.

It lies to the southeast of the crater Boss and to the northeast of the ruined walled plain Riemann.
