{{Short description|none}}
This is a list of named [[Impact crater|craters]] on [[253 Mathilde]], an [[asteroid]] of the [[asteroid belt]], approximately 53 kilometers in diameter. Because ''Mathilde'' is a dark, [[carbonaceous]] body, all of its craters have been named after famous [[coalfield]]s from across the world.<ref name="Gazetteer-Categories" /><ref name="Gazetteer-Target-Mathilde" /> As of 2017, there are 23 officially named craters on this asteroid.<ref name="Gazetteer-Mathilde-Craterlist" />
