Hume is a small lunar crater that lies along the eastern limb of the Moon, along the southeast edge of Mare Smythii. It is located just on the far side of the Moon, but it is often brought into sight of the Earth due to libration. Hume lies just to the west-northwest of the much larger Hirayama crater, and to the northeast of the flooded Swasey crater.

This crater has been flooded by flows of basaltic-lava, leaving only a slender rim projecting above the surface. The interior floor is level and has the same low albedo as the lunar mare to the northwest. The rim has a wide gap at the northern end, and the floor lies open to the exterior. This feature is not marked by any overlaying impacts of note.

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 Hume crater.
