Schröter is a lunar crater near the mid-part of the Moon on the eastern Mare Insularum and named after German astronomer Johann Hieronymus Schröter. It lies to the north of the craters Sömmering and Mösting. To the southeast of the crater rim is a rille named the Rima Schröter. This cleft begins at a small crater in the mare then follows a line to the south-southeast.The rim of Schröter is heavily worn and eroded with a wide gap in the southern wall and a deep indentation to the southeast.
