Gould is an impact crater in the southwest of the moon in front of the north of the plane of the Mare Nubium, northeast of the crater Bullialdus (crater ) and north-east of Nicollet.

The crater is largely flooded by lavas of Mare, leaving only a remnant of the western crater rim is really visible from the rest of the course of the crater rim traces are still visible.

From the south-eastern edge of a chain of smaller craters runs in a southwesterly direction to zuzm secondary craters Gould B.

The crater was officially named by the IAU in 1935 after the American astronomer Benjamin Apthorp Gould.
