Vestine is a heavily eroded impact crater on the Moon's far side, just beyond the northeastern limb. It lies to the southwest of the large walled plain Harkhebi, and to the northwest of the Maxwell–Richardson crater pair.
The outer rim of this crater is an irregular ridge about the interior floor. The small satellite crater Vestine A lies across the northern rim. The crater Vestine covers the eastern half of the crater Vestine T, an older and somewhat smaller formation. The interior floor has a rounded central ridge with a small craterlet located just to the east.
Prior to formal naming in 1970 by the IAU, this crater was known as Crater 111.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Vestine.
