Sor Juana is a crater on Mercury. Its name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1979, and is named for the Mexican writer and poet Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz.{{cite web |url = http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Feature/5651 |title = Sor Juana |publisher = NASA |work = Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature |accessdate = 3 August 2020}}

Sor Juana is a relatively young crater as its floor is covered with impact melt,[https://messenger.jhuapl.edu/Explore/Science-Images-Database/gallery-image-1460.html Sweet Soul Sister], MESSENGER Featured Image Database but it does not have a ray system such as that of Hokusai or Kuiper.

Sor Juana lies east of Victoria Rupes.
