Boguslawsky is a lunar impact crater that is located near the southern lunar limb. It lies to the northwest of the slightly larger Demonax crater, and southwest of the concentric crater Boussingault. Due to its location, this crater appears very oblong in shape because of foreshortening.

The floor of this crater is flooded and relatively featureless. The rim is somewhat worn and relatively low above the surrounding surface. The crater 'Boguslawsky D' lies across the eastern rim.

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 Boguslawsky crater.
