Artsimovich is a small lunar impact crater located in the western Mare Imbrium of the Earth's Moon. This is a circular crater forming a cup-shaped excavation in the surface of the lunar mare. It was named after Soviet physicist Lev A. Artsimovich in 1973.<ref>Template:Gpn</ref> This crater was identified as Diophantus A before being named by the International Astronomical Union.

To the east is the crater Diophantus and to the northeast lies Delisle. Less than 20 kilometers to the north-northeast is the tiny Fedorov. Due south is the wrinkle ridge Dorsum Arduino.
