Daly is a small lunar impact crater that is located in the eastern part of the Moon, to the northwest of the Apollonius crater. This formation is relatively circular, with a slight inward bulge along the northern rim. The inner wall is wider in the southern half than in the north. The crater is intruding into a comparably-sized crater 'Apollonius F' to the east-southeast.
This crater was previously designated 'Apollonius P' before being named by the IAU.
