Dorsa Harker is a wrinkle ridge at 14°30′N 64°00′E / 14.5°N 64.0°E / 14.5; 64.0 in Mare Crisium on the Moon. It is 197 km long and was named after Alfred Harker, an English petrologist, in 1976.[1]

The ridge starts east of Dorsum Termier northeast of Shapley Crater and later heads nearly east and then northeast northwest of Mons Usov.

The ridge is located southeast of the Fahrenheit Crater and the tiny Lev craterlet.
