Gauricus is a lunar impact crater that is located in the rugged southern part of the Moon's near side.

[1] Nearly attached to the western rim is the heavily eroded crater Wurzelbauer, and to the north-northwest lies Pitatus.

The worn satellite crater Gauricus A is attached to the exterior rim along the south-southwest.

Only the merged crater formation Gauricus F, lying along the northern rim, marks the floor.

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