Bok is a lunar crater that is located on the far side of the Moon. To the southeast is the crater Sniadecki; to the north is McKellar, and further to the west is De Vries.

The rim of Bok is well-defined and is not significantly eroded. The inner walls slope gently down to the nearly level interior floor, which has a central peak near the mid-point. There is a slight inward bulge along the northwest wall.

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 Bok.
