Respighi is a small lunar impact crater that is located to the southeast of Dubyago crater, near the eastern limb of the Moon. To the east is the comparably-sized Liouville crater.

This is a crudely circular crater with inner walls that slope down to the relatively darker (lower albedo) interior central floor. The rim has no suffered significant erosion from subsequent impacts, but there is a shallower section to the south. Attached to the southern rim of this crater is 'Dubyago B', a formation that has the appearance of two or more merged craters with a dark, lava-flooded floor that is elongated to the southeast.
