The list of geological formations on (253 ) Mathilde contains all surface formations on the asteroid (253 ) Mathilde, which by the Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature ( WGPSN ) of the International Astronomical Union ( IAU) have received a proper name.

Crater

Until now, only craters on the asteroid got a proper name. The surface of ( 253) Mathilde is having an albedo of 0.0436 (± 0.004) very dark, blacker than coal. Therefore, the craters were named after coal mining areas. As the source of the names of the Concise Guide to World Coalfields, the International Energy Agency (IEA ) of the OECD has been used from 1983.
