Eötvös is the remains of a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. It lies to the north-northwest of the Roche walled plain, and east-southeast of the equally ruined Bolyai crater.

Only the northwestern section of the Eötvös crater rim survives, the remainder now forming a battered, uneven circular rise. The rim is nearly non-existent along the southeast where it joins an uneven plain reaching the rim of Roche crater. Small craters lie along the rim to the northeast and one to the southwest. The interior floor is relatively level, but marked by a number of small craterlets as well as palimpsests, meaning circular rises in the surface that are now scarcely recognizable as craters.

By convention these features are identified on Lunar maps by placing theletter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Eötvös crater.
