Abbot is a small Lunar Impact Crater that lies on the rugged ground between the Mare Fecunditatis in the south and west, and the Mare Crisium to the north. It is a circular crater with a cup-shaped interior. The inner walls slope downward to the mid-point, and no impacts of significant mark the interior or the rim.

This formation was designated 'Apollonius K' before being given a name by the IAU . Apollonius Crater lies to the east of the crater Abbot.
