Eckert is a tiny, isolated lunar impact crater in the northern part of the Mare Crisium (a circular region of relatively dark, flat material on the surface of the Moon).

This crater forms a circular pit in the dark surface of the surrounding lunar mare.

Just to the west is a wrinkle ridge in the mare surface, a feature that is prominent only under oblique lighting from the Sun.

The nearest craters of note are Peirce to the west-northwest, and Picard to the southwest.

Both of these craters lie in the Mare Crisium basin.
