Emory is a feature on Earth's Moon, a crater in Taurus–Littrow valley. Astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt landed north of it in 1972, on the Apollo 17 mission, but did not visit it. The name was approved in 1973.
Emory is south of Steno crater and Geology Station 1. To the southwest are Mackin and Hess.
The crater was named by the astronauts after explorer and surveyor William H. Emory.The Valley of Taurus-Littrow, Apollo 17 Lunar Surface Journal, Corrected Transcript and Commentary Copyright 1995 by Eric M. Jones
