         Condorcet (74 km), is a lunar crater that is located in the eastern part of the Moon on south-east of Mare Crisium North-east of Condorcet are craters Hansen (40 km) and Alhazen-or-Hasan (33 km ).

Outer edge of the crater Condorcet is eroded, and the lowest level is along the northern wall. Condorcet Y crater (13 km), lies in the northwestern edge. The interior has been transformed, leaving a flat, with almost no features, marked only by a few small craters. The interior has a large dark spot in the western half, but the rest is about the same as the surroundings.Condorcet has a depth of 2.7 km.
