Bečvář (Czech pronunciation:[ˈbɛtʃvaːr̝̊]) is alunarimpact crater that is located near the equator on thefar side of the Moon. It lies to the northeast of the craterNecho, within that feature'sray system. To the north-northeast is the craterGregory.

This is a worn, eroded crater system with a few tiny craterlets lying across the floor and rim. A double-crater formation occupies the southwestern rim, with Bečvář Q forming the northwestern member of this pair. The crater Bečvář X is attached to the northern rim.

The crater was named after Czechoslovakian astronomerAntonín Bečvář by theIAU in 1970.[1] The crater was known asCrater 283 prior to naming.[2]

Bečvář lies at the center of an unnamed, highly subdued, 200-km-diameter crater which was originally discovered during theApollo 16 mission and reported byFarouk El-Baz. The nameNecho was proposed for the crater, but the name was eventually adopted for the small, bright-rayedcrater along the south margin of the unnamed crater.[3]

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Bečvář.
