Duban is a crater in the northern hemisphere of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Duban was first seen in Voyager 2 images, though the crater has also been seen in much higher resolution Cassini images. It is located at 58°23′N 282°55′W / 58.38°N 282.91°W and is 19 kilometers across.[1] In the Cassini image, evidence for significant tectonic deformation can be seen along the northwest rim of the crater.
Duban is named after a sage who cured King Yunan of leprosy in Arabian Nights.
