Condon is alunarimpact crater that lies on the eastern shore of theSinus Successus, a bay along the northeast edge ofMare Fecunditatis. It was named after American physicistEdward U. Condon in 1976.[2] It lies midway between the larger craterApollonius to the north and the smallerWebb to the south on the Mare Fecunditatis. Condon was previously designated Webb R.

This is alava-flooded crater remnant with only low rim segments surviving to the east and west. There is a break in the rim to the south and a wider break to the northwest of the crater. The crater interior is nearly level, and mark only by a few low rises in the surface.
