Sullivan is a crater on Mercury. Its name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1976, and is named for the American architect Louis Sullivan.[1] The crater was first imaged by Mariner 10 in 1974.[2]

Sullivan is west of the smaller but younger Futabatei crater. To the north of Sullivan is Stoddart.
