Buffon is alunar impact crater that is located on the southernhemisphere on thefar side of theMoon. It lies a crater diameter south of the large walled plainChebyshev. To the northeast is the craterLangmuir and to the southwest isLeavitt. Buffon lies nearly at the midpoint between these formations.

This is a worn and eroded crater formation, with a circular rim that can″ still be traced through the rugged terrain but which is irregular and rounded due to a history of lesser impacts. The most notable of these is a tiny crater which lies across the northern rim and the satellite crater Buffon D which lies along the inner eastern wall. The interior floor, although generally level, is equally rugged and irregular, particularly in the eastern half.

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