Verne is a small impact crater on the front of the moon in the Mare Imbrium between Euler crater in the west and Lambert crater in the east.

The name goes back to an originally unofficial name on sheet 40A4 / S1 of the Topophotomap map series of NASA , which was adopted by the IAU in 1976. The crater is named after the Roman first name Verne .

This small crater is not to be confused with the larger Jules Verne crater , named after the French writer Jules Verne .
