Winkler is a small lunar impact crater on the far side of the Moon. It is located about one crater diameter to the south-southeast of Dunér. This feature forms a circular, cup-shaped depression in the surface. A small, relatively fresh crater lies across the eastern rim.
The crater was formally named by the IAU in 1970 after German rocketry scientist Johannes Winkler.[1]
