Capote is a crater on Mercury. Its name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2013, and is named for the American author Truman Capote.[1]

The central peak of Capote is unusual because a ring-like depression completely surrounds it.

On the north rim of Capote, along its border with Kipling crater, is a dark spot of low reflectance material (LRM), closely associated with hollows.[2]

Oblique view from MESSENGER's second flyby in October 2008. Capote is in central foreground.
