Henderson is a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. It is located to the east of the huge Mendeleev walled-plain. This is a worn crater with a shallow rim. No significant craters overlay the rim or interior, but a smaller, worn crater is attached to the southern outer rim. A ridge of material runs from the northwest rim to the mid-point of the floor. Henderson lies within the eroded remains of a larger and older crater-like feature.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Henderson crater.
