Lohrmann is a small lunar crater that is located to the west of the Oceanus Procellarum lunar mare, near the western limb of the Moon. It lies to the north of the dark-floored Grimaldi walled plain, and just to the south of the Hevelius crater.

The rim of this crater is nearly circular, although it doesn't appear so from the Earth due to foreshortening. It has a narrow inner wall at the north end and a somewhat eroded edge. The interior floor has some low hills and a small craterlet in the western half. The remainder of the floor is relatively featureless except for some tiny craters.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Lohrmann crater.
