Toba caldera in Indonesia is the largest Holocene volcanic 'crater' in the world. This volcano erupted approximately 75,000 years ago and is thought to have nearly driven humankind to extinction, reducing the population to around 5,000 individuals worldwide. Yellowstone caldera in Wyoming, USA is probably the second largest, but the most active thermally speaking. These are examples of active 'supervolcanoes' that have a VEI (Volcanic Eruption Index) of 7 or greater.
Formed approximately 4.3 billion years ago, the Aitken basin is the largest known impact crater. It is located on the Moon.

impact crater
No. A crater is a depression in the ground created by an impact or explosion. The moon is an object in orbit around Earth. It is believed to have formed when another planet collided with Earth early in its history, but this impact did not leave a crater.
The Aitkin Basin is a huge impact crater on the moon, 1,600 miles in diameter and 8.1 miles deep. It is the oldest, deepest and largest crater on the moon, and one of the largest in the entire solar system.

The Caloris Basin is a large impact crater found on the planet Mercury, 963 miles in diameter. Its one of the largest craters in the solar system.

The South Pole-Aitken basin (not "Aitken crater") on the far side of the moon, at 1,600 miles across, is not only the largest known impact crater on the moon but one of the largest in the solar system. It is also believed to be the moon's oldest and deepest (over 8 miles deep).
