Talbot is a small lunar impact crater on the Mare Smythii, near the eastern limb of the Moon.

It lies between a pair of larger, flooded craters, with Runge to the west and Haldane to the west-northwest.

The crater is entirely surrounded by the dark lunar mare.

It is a circular, bowl-shaped formation with an almost featureless interior floor.

The outer rim has a slightly higher albedo than the surrounding terrain, but the floor is as dark as the mare.
