Azophi is a lunar impact crater that lies in the rugged south-central highlands of the Moon. The northwest rim is attached to the slightly smaller Abenezra crater. To the east-southeast is the large Sacrobosco crater.

The wide outer rim of Azophi has a somewhat polygonal shape with rounded corners. The edge is relatively sharp and cleft-like. The rim is not significantly worn or impacted by smaller craters, with the exception of 'Azophi C' which lies on the inner northeast wall. The interior floor lacks a central peak and is is only marked by a few tiny craterlets.

Satellite craters

By convention these features are identified on Lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Azophi crater.
