Zöllner is a lunar impact crater located to the west of Sinus Asperitatis. To the north is the smaller Alfraganus crater and to the northwest lies the oval-shaped Taylor crater. Southeast of Zöllner is the smaller Kant crater.

The rim of Zöllner crater forms an irregular oval, with the formation being longer in a north-south direction. The wall is low and worn, with a distorted, crater-like depression attached to the southeast of the rim. The narrow floor still retains a central peak.

The Apollo 16 landing site is located about 80 kilometers west-southwest of the crater rim.
