The rim of this crater is only marginally worn, although it is not quite circular and the edge is somewhat uneven. There is a shelf running along the northern inner wall. At the midpoint is a central ridge that extends to the northward.

The crater was named after Belgian astronomer Eugène Joseph Delporte by the IAU in 1970.
