Ten Bruggencate is a lunar impact crater that lies on the far side of the Moon from the Earth, just to the east of the younger crater Lane.

This is a worn and eroded formation, with the satellite crater Ten Bruggencate H overlapping part of the side to the east-southeast.

There are several small craters along the inner wall and the edges of the interior floor.

The crater was named after German astronomer Paul ten Bruggencate by the IAU in 1970.

[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 Ten Bruggencate.
