Perkin is a Lunar Impact Crater that is located in the northern Hemisphere on the Moon 's Far Side . Just to the southeast is the somewhat smaller Guillaume Crater , and to the west-southwest lies Dunér Crater . To the northwest of Perkin is the large D'Alembert Walled Plain .

This is a worn and eroded crater formation with an outer rim that has been reshaped by several subsequent impacts. Laid along the inner wall to the east-northeast is a small crater. Small craterlets lie along the southern inner wall and the northwestern rim. Several smaller craterlets cut across the rim along the southwest and north.
