Born is a small lunar impact crater located near the eastern edge of the Moon, to the northeast of the prominent crater Langrenus.

It was previously designated Maclaurin Y before being named by the IAU in 1979.

[1] Maclaurin itself lies to the north.

This crater is circular and generally cup-shaped, with dark patches stretching from the midpoint toward the northeastern rim.

It is otherwise undistinguished.
