The Rima Carmen is a small moon groove that runs through a foothill of the Mare Serenitatis on its eastern edge, east of the Mons Argaeus . It extends in a north-south direction for about 15 kilometers. To the east of it lies the Rima Rudolf .

The name designation goes back to an originally unofficial designation on sheet 42C3 / S3 of the Topophotomap map series of NASA , which was taken over by the IAU in 1976.
