Deutsch is a lunar impact crater on the far side of the Moon. It lies to the southwest of the larger crater Seyfert. About one crater to the east-northeast is Polzunov.
Its name comes from Armin Joseph Deutsch, an American astronomer and science-fiction author.
This crater has a relatively low, eroded rim that is heavily damaged along the southeastern section. This portion is overlain by Deutsch F along the east and Deutsch L to the south, with an irregular region between these two formations. The interior floor of Deutsch is relatively level, but is marked by a number of small impacts.
A ray from Giordano Bruno to the north-northwest passes along the western edge of Deutsch.
