Hooke is a lunar crater that is located to the northwest of the Messala crater, in the northeastern part of the Moon. It lies about a crater diameter to the southeast of the comparably-sized Shuckburgh crater.

The low rim of this crater is moderately eroded, with the satellite crater 'Hooke D' intruding slightly into the southeastern side. A small worn, crater is attached to the northern exterior rim. The interior floor has been flooded, leaving a level, featureless plain and a narrow inner 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 Hooke crater.
