Harvey is a lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon from the Earth. It lies astride the eastern rim of the much larger Mach crater, and the outer of Harvey extends part way across the interior floor. Some distance to the north of Harvey is the Joule crater, and equally far to the east-southeast is Kekulé crater.

The rim of Harvey is mildly eroded, and a small craterlet lies in the western part of the interior floor. There is a low central peak at the mid-point. Ray material from 'Joule T' to the north crosses the floor of Harvey, passing along the western side of the mid-point and nearly bisecting the interior.
