Baillaud is a lunar impact crater that is located near the north limb of the Moon.

The rim of the crater has been eroded and worn by a long history of impacts, leaving a hilly ridge surrounding the interior.

Nearby craters include the irregular Meton formation to the southwest, and Petermann further to the east.

Due to its location, Baillaud appears oblong because of foreshortening along the line of sight to Earth.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Baillaud.
