Gutenberg is a lunar impact crater that lies along the west edge of Mare Fecunditatis, in the eastern part of the visible Moon.

The rim of Gutenberg is worn and eroded, most notably in the east where it is broken by the overlapping crater Gutenberg E. This crater in turn has gaps in its southeast and southwest rims, forming a passage to the lunar mare to the east.

This surface is broken across the northeast by a pair of clefts that form a part of the Rimae Goclenius.

The central rise of Gutenberg is a semi-circular range of hills that are the most prominent in the south, and the concave part lies open to the east.

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