Valier is a lunar impact crater that lies on the far side of the Moon. It is nearly attached to the western rim of Tiselius crater. To the north-northwest lies the larger Sharonov crater, to the south-southwest is Coriolis crater, and west of Valier is Dufay crater.

The most notable feature of this crater is the satellite crater 'Valier J' that occupies the southeastern part of the interior floor and shares part of the outer rim. The remainder of the rim is somewhat worn, with small craterlets along the eastern side. The inner walls of Valier are uneven slopes that are marked by several tiny craterlets. The surviving interior floor is a relatively level surface with some tiny craterlets scattered about.

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 Valier crater.
