Lovelace is a lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon, just behind the northern limb. It lies to the south-southwest of Hermite crater, and just to the north of the slightly smaller Froelich crater. To the east is Sylvester crater.

The outer wall of this crater is nearly circular, with a well-delineated rim that is not significantly worn. The inner wall is somewhat worn and the features softened and rounded, but is not marked by any small craters of significance. The inner wall is narrower along the northern rim than elsewhere. The interior floor is level, with a central peak thatis offset just to the south of the mid-point.

Satellite craters

By convention these features are identified on Lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Lovelace crater.
