Al-Bakbuk is an impact crater in the northern hemisphere of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Al-Bakbuk was first observed in Cassini images during that mission's March 2005 flyby of Enceladus. It is located at Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. and is 9 kilometers across. Since the crater's formation, numerous north-south trending fractures cut across the crater, forming canyons several hundred meters deep along the crater's rim.
Al-Bakbuk is named after one of the barber's six brothers in the "The Hunchback's Tale" in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights.
