Brisbane is a lunar crater that is located in the southeastern part of the Moon, to the south of Peirescius crater. To the northwest lie Vega and Reimarus craters, and further to the east is the Lyot walled-plain. Due to its proximity to the limb, foreshortening of this crater causes it to appear somewhat oval in shape, even though it is actually circular.

This is an old, eroded crater with features that have become somewhat softened and rounded due to a history of subsequent minor impacts. There are small craterlets along the rim, most notably along the western wall and the northeast inner wall. There is also a groove overlaying the southwest rim. The interior floor is nearly level and contains no significant impacts. There is a slight central rise at the mid-point.

Satellite craters

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 Brisbane crater.
