Macrobius is a striking impact crater north-west of Mare Crisium in the northeastern quadrant of the Moon. It is located on the southeastern shore of Lacus bonitatis, a smaller moon sea. The significantly smaller craters Tisserand joins the east.

The outer crater wall of Macrobius shows a highly terraced structure with some scree slopes on the upper levels. On the western side overlaps the small satellite crater ' Macrobius C' the crater rim, but elsewhere, too, has wear and tear. In the center of the crater floor rises a central mountain complex. The relative level floor has otherwise only in the west to a low range of hills.

• Macrobius B - see Crater Hill.
• Macrobius D - see crater Fredholm.
• Macrobius L - see craters Esclangon.
