Hartwig is a lunar crater that is located near the western limb of the Moon. It is attached to the eastern rim of the prominent Schlüter crater, to the northeast of the Montes Cordillera mountain range that surrounds the Mare Orientale. To the east-northeast of Hartwig is the Riccioli crater.

This crater lies within the outer blanket of "ejecta" that surrounds the Mare Orientale impact basin, and its form has been modified by this material. Much of the eastern rim of the crater is overlaid by this "ejecta", and only a portion of the western rim near Schluter crater remains well-formed. The interior floor has likewise been modified. There is a small crater on the floor near the northeastern rim.

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 Hartwig crater.
