Strindberg is a 189 km diameter impact basin in the Shakespeare quadrangle of Mercury. It was named after the Swedish playwright, novelist and short story writer August Strindberg.[1]

Strindberg is one of 110 peak ring basins on Mercury.[2]

To the southwest is the large Shakespeare crater and further to the west is Janáček crater and Suisei Planitia.
