Sherrington is a small lunar crater that intrudes into the southwest outer rim of the much larger Langemak crater. To the south-southwest is the Kondratyuk crater. Sherrington is located on the Moon's far side and it can not be viewed directly from the Earth.

The rim of this crater is elongated along the western side, giving it a slight tear-drop shape. The rim isfree from significant wear and the inner walls slope down relatively sharply to the interior floor.
