Charlier is alunarimpact crater located on thefar side of theMoon. To its south-southeast lies the larger craterKovalevskaya, whilePerrine is situated to the northeast.

This crater exhibits significant erosion and a damaged outer rim. The most intact section lies in the northeast quadrant, while the southern and western rims are heavily worn and partially covered by smaller craters. The western rim, in particular, is overlaid by a merged cluster of several small impacts.

The crater's interior floor has been heavily marked by numerous impacts, with several small craters scattered across its surface, some overlapping earlier ones. However, two patches of the interior remain relatively undisturbed by notable impacts—one near the northern part of the floor and another in the southwestern region.
