This is a list of craters on Venus, named by the International Astronomical Union's (IAU) Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature. All craters on Venus are named after famous women or female first names. (For features on Venus other than craters see, list of montes on Venus and List of coronae on Venus.) As of 2017, there are 900 named craters on Venus, fewer than the lunar and Martian craters but more than on Mercury. Other, non-planetary bodies with numerous named craters include Callisto (141), Ganymede (131), Rhea (128), Vesta (90), Ceres (90), Dione (73), Iapetus (58), Enceladus (53), Tethys (50) and Europa (41).
