Graff is an impact crater in the Aeolis quadrangle of Mars, located at 21.4°S latitude and 206.3°W longitude and is inside Terra Cimmeria. It is 158.0 km in diameter and was named after Kasimir Graff, and the name was approved in 1973.[1]
Nearby named prominent craters include Hadley about a third of a crater diameter to the east-northeast and Molesworth approximately two crater diameters to the south-southwest. Due east of Graff is a valley known as al-Qahira Vallis.
East of the middle of the crater is the central peak of Graff, west is a smaller crater and two tiny craters further south close to the rim, in the east rim is a smaller attached crater.
