Lomonosov is a lunar crater that is located just behind the western limb of the Moon. It is almost attached to the east-northeastern outer rim of the larger Joliot crater, and overlays the southern rim of the Maxwell crater. Attached to the southern rim of Lomonosov is the smaller Edison crater.

The interior floor of Lomonosov has been resurfaced with lava flows, leaving a dark, level surface marked only by a few tiny craterlets and some streaks of ray material from Giordano Bruno crater. Only the lowest portion of the interior is flooded, however, and much of the inner wall of the rim remains uncovered. The inner wall is narrower along the northern edge where the crater overlays Maxwell. There is also slumped material along the base of the inner wall.
