The Rimae Hase are a system of lunar grooves on the south-eastern edge of the front of the moon , which, starting from the crater Hase, extends over 250 kilometers in a south-easterly direction and ends near the crater Marinus O. The grooves run across the craters Hase D and Hase and beyond, where they become tangential to the edge of Petavius .

The crater was officially named by the IAU in 1985 after the crater Hase, which in turn is named after the German mathematician Johann Matthias Hase .
