Turner is a small lunar impact crater that lies in the of the Mare Insularum, near the equator of the Moon. It is located to the southeast of Gambart crater.

A similar-sized ghost-crater is attached to the western rim, its interior floor submerged by lava and the surviving rim broken in the southwest.
