'''Wood''' is a [[Moon|lunar]] [[impact crater]] that lies entirely within the interior of the much larger [[Landau (crater)|Landau walled plain]], on the [[Far side (Moon)|far side]] of [[Moon]]. Wood crater is situated along the northwestern part of the floor of Landau, and shares a common northwestern rim with the larger impact. The inner wall of the northwest rim extends inward about halfway toward the crater mid-point, where there is a central peak. The rim of Wood is somewhat worn and uneven, with a small crater laid across the southwest section. The surviving interior floor is nearly level and is marked only by a few tiny craterlets.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Wood crater.
