Schlesinger is a lunar impact crater on the far side of the Moon. The Esnault-Pelterie crater has overlaid the western part of the rim and the outer of that crater has covered about half the interior floor, leaving a crescent-shaped feature. To the south-southwest of Schlesinger is Von Zeipel crater and to the southeast lies Quetelet crater.

In addition to the overlapping Esnault-Pelterie crater, the crater rim is overlaid by the satellite crater 'Schlesinger M' along the southern rim and a small crater along the northern rim. The remaining rim is heavily worn and the features have been rounded. Only about half the interior floor remains uncovered, and this is relatively level and marked only by a few small craterlets.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Schlesinger crater.
