Molière is an impact crater on the planet Mercury 132 kilometers in diameter. It is located at 15.6°N 16.9°W south of the crater Rodin southeast of the crater Abu Nuwas and northeast of the crater Asvaghosa. The nearly circular rim of the crater is cut off into a flat edge on its southern and southwestern ends and on its eastern side the rim is indented by a smaller crater. The crater is named for the 17th century French dramatist and satirist Molière.
