Golovin is a lunar impact crater that is located to the southeast of the walled plain Campbell.

It lies in the northern hemisphere on the Moon's far side, and cannot be seen directly from the Earth.

The nearly circular rim of Golovin is not markedly eroded, and is not overlaid by any impacts of note.

The crater is named after American rocketry scientist Nicholas Erasmus Golovin.

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