H. G. Wells is a lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon, behind the northeastern limb.

This large formation is most notable for the extremely battered state of its outer rim.

This rugged surroundings intrudes only part way into the interior, while the remaining floor is relatively level and in some places gently rolling.

The crater is named after the author H. G. Wells whose works include the 1901 novel The First Men in the Moon.

[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 H. G. Wells.
