Abu Nuwas is an impact crater on the planet Mercury 116 kilometers in diameter. It is located at 17.4°N 20.4°W. It is named after the Arab poet Abu Nuwas and its name was approved by the International Astronomical Union in 1976. There appears to be a small mountain centered inside the Abu Nuwas floor and the crater’s wall opens toward the south to link to a much smaller unnamed crater. To the north are the craters Ts’ai Wen-chi and Rodin.
