Fox is a small lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. It lies near the northern rim of Wyld crater, and to the southeast of Babcock crater. This crater is bowl-shaped, with a roughly circular rim, simple sloping walls and a relatively level, featureless interior. There is some talus along the northern inner wall.

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 Fox crater.
