Espin is alunar impact crater that lies on thefar side of theMoon, just beyond the northeastern limb. It lies to the west-southwest of the larger craterSeyfert, and northwest ofDeutsch.

This is a worn formation with heavy damage along the northern rim. Several small craters lie along the northern edge, and a crater lies across the southern rim. The northern part of the interior floor is somewhat irregular, but it is more level to the south. Aray from the craterGiordano Bruno to the north-northwest reaches the western interior of Espin.

It is named after Thomas Henry Espinell Compton Espin, an amateur astronomer^[1] who was avicar ofTow Law.^[2] Prior to formal naming in 1970 by theIAU,^[3] Espin was known asCrater 117.^[4]

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