Rūmī is a crater on Mercury. It has a diameter of 75 kilometres (47 miles). Its name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1985. Rūmī is named for the Persian poet Rumi.[1]
There is an irregular depression in the center of the floor of Rūmī crater.
A scarp known as Palmer Rupes cuts across Rūmī and extends to the southwest.[2]
