Carrington is a lunar crater that is located just to the northeast of Schumacher crater, in the northeastern part of the Moon. It lies in a stretch of rough terrain between two small lunar mares, with "Lacus Temporis" to the northwest and the smaller "Lacus Spei" to the east. To the northeast of Carrington is Mercurius crater.

The rim of this crater is relatively featureless, with a slight protrusion at the northern end giving the formation a tear-drop shape. The interior floor is nearly level and featureless.
