There is no phase of the Moon that does exactly that every time, but approximately it is first-quarter, which is a half moon with the bright side to the west.
To rise at noon and set at midnight the Moon has to be around zero degrees declination (i.e. on the equator) and on the ecliptic 90 degrees behind the Sun. That happens around the summer solstice, June 21, or the winter solstice, December 21.

What are the rising and setting times of the last quarter phase?

What time does 3rd quarter moon rise?
The time of day that the Moon rises or sets depends on its phase. This should be obvious when you remember that the phase of the Moon depends on the relative positions of the Sun, Moon and Earth. For example when the Moon is Full it is opposite the Earth from the Sun, so when the Sun sets, the Moon must rise and vice versa. Here is a table summarizing that: Moon phase Moonrise Moonset New Moon Sunrise Sunset 1st quarter Local noon Local midnight Full Moon Sunset Sunrise 3rd quarter Local midnight Local noon By local noon and local midnight I mean the points when the Sun crosses the meridian, and exactly 12 hours later. This can be different from the time on your watch because we define time zones which all use the local time at the centre of the zone.First Quarter moon rises one quarter day after the sun, or around Noon.Around noon, plus or minus a bit depending on where in your time zone you live.

Which moon phase is impossible to see at noon?
The New Moon can't be seen at any time of day. In addition, the first quarter moon is just rising at noon, and the third quarter moon is just setting at noon. So practically everything between first quarter and third quarter is below the horizon at noon, and not visible.
What occurs when the moon is first or third quarter?
During the first and third quarter moon phases, the moon is at a 90-degree angle with the sun as seen from Earth. This results in half of the moon's visible surface being illuminated by sunlight, creating a half-moon shape. The first quarter moon rises at noon and sets at midnight, while the third quarter moon rises at midnight and sets at noon.
Which direction does a quarter moon rise from?

What is the 5th phase of the moon?
The 5th phase of the moon is known as the waning gibbous phase. During this phase, more than half of the moon is illuminated, but the illuminated portion is shrinking each day until it becomes a third-quarter moon.
