Stöfler is a large lunar impact crater located in the crater-dotted southern highlands. British astronomer T. W. Webb noted it "has a very level interior, crossed by two rays from Tycho, and containing at least 16 minute craters. It is well seen about [1st] Quarter." Stöffler sits to the west of the crater Maurolycus. The distorted crater Fernelius is attached to the northern rim, and Miller and Nasireddin lie to the west. Faraday has overlain and damaged the western rim, and this crater in turn has been overlain by several smaller craters.
