Humason is a tiny lunar impact crater located in the Oceanus Procellarum. This is a cup-shaped crater with an outer rim that rises slightly above the surrounding lunar mare. To the west is a low system of mare wrinkle ridges named the "Dorsa Whiston" that wind southward toward Montes Agricola.

This crater was previously identified as 'Lichtenberg G' before being renamed by the IAU. Lichtenberg crater lies over 100 kilometers to the west.
