List of impact structures in Asia and Russia

This list includes all 31 confirmed impact structures in Asia and Russia as listed in the Earth Impact Database. These features were caused by the collision of large meteorites or comets with the Earth. For eroded or buried craters, the stated diameter typically refers to an estimate of original rim diameter, and may not correspond to present surface features.

Unconfirmed impact structures

Main article: List of possible impact structures on Earth

The following craters are officially considered "unconfirmed" because they are not listed in the Earth Impact Database. Due to stringent requirements regarding evidence and peer-reviewed publication, newly discovered craters or those with difficulty collecting evidence generally are known for some time before becoming listed. However, entries on the unconfirmed list could still have an impact origin disproven.

Name	Location	Diameter	Age	Coordinates
Cheko	Russia (Siberia)	~0.5 km	~100 years	60.964°N 101.86°E / 60.964; 101.86 (Cheko)
Patomskiy	Russia (Siberia)	~0.16 km	~300 years	59°17′4″N 116°35′22″E
Ramgarh	Rajasthan, India	~3.0 km	?	25°20′56″N 76°37′29″E
