Boethius is a small lunar impact crater located on the east edge of Mare Undarum near the eastern lunar limb. To the southwest is the dark, lava-flooded Dubyago crater.
This crater is circular and cup-shaped, with inner walls that slope down to the tiny central floor. It has a higher albedo that the surrounding terrain, and is not overlaid by other impact craters of note. Boethius was identified as 'Dubyago U' before being named by the IAU.
