Galvani is a lunar impact crater that lies close to the northwestern limb of the Moon, due south of the larger walled plain Volta.

It partly overlies the southeast rim of the crater Langley, which occupies half the gap between Volta and Galvani.

To the northeast is the large walled plain Repsold, and to the west-southwest, on the far side of the Moon, is the crater McLaughlin.

A rille from the Rimae Repsold system crosses the northeastern rim and traverses the interior, forking near the midpoint to continue towards the west-southwest and the south.

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