Zagut is an impact crater in the southeastern quadrant of the Earth's moon, which has been furrowed by numerous impacts . It lies between the craters Wilkins in the northwest, Celsius in the southwest, Rabbi Levi in the southeast and Lindenau in the east.
The rim of the Zagut crater is irregular and eroded, especially in the north and east. The eastern rim of the crater is covered by the satellite crater 'Zagut E'. The inside of the crater is relatively flat and the center of the crater is occupied by the crater 'Zagut A' instead of a central mountain.
