Bowditch is a lunar impact crater that lies on the far side of the Moon, just beyond the eastern limb.

It lies just to the north of the small Lacus Solitudinis lunar mare, between the craters Titius to the southwest and Perel'man to the east-northeast.

The outer rim varies in height, with the most prominent sections being the southwest face and a ridge mount to the northwest.

Bowditch is described in the Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report, along with Lacus Solitudinis to the south, as a significant volcanic feature: Near the southern rim of this formation, at the northern edge of the Lacus Solitudinus, are four tiny craters that have been assigned individual names by the IAU.

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