Bianchini Crater is a crater in the Thaumasia quadrangle of Mars, located at 64.2°S latitude and 95.4°W longitude, and is inside Aonia Terra. It is 76.0 km in diameter and was named after Francesco Bianchini, and the name was approved in 1973 by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN).[1]
South of Bianchini are Agassiz and Heaviside craters, southwest is the crater Smith, further northwest is Ross crater.
South of the crater rim is the Southern Polar Region of Mars (Mare Australe quadrangle), an area which receives 24 Martian hour daylight during the summer and darkness during the winter. Also south of it is Argentea Planum.
