Short description: none

This is a list of named 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 coalfields from across the world.[1][2] As of 2017, there are 23 officially named craters on this asteroid.[3]
