Meshcherskiy is an impact crater that is located on the Moon's far side, to the east-northeast of the larger Ostwald. To the east-southeast of Meshchersky is the crater Vetchinkin.
This is a moderately worn crater formation, with some erosion along the south and northeast. The interior floor has an area of low-albedo surface in its southern part. The remainder of the floor is more irregular in the eastern half.
