EponymCharles É. Guillaume

Guillaume is an old lunar impact crater on the Moon's northern hemisphere, and is located on the far side relative to the Earth. It lies just to the southeast of the slightly larger crater Perkin. This is a worn and eroded formation, with features that have been softened and rounded over time. A cluster of small craters covers most of the northeastern rim. Several small craterlets lie along the edge to the south and west. The bowl-like interior is nearly featureless, with only a few small craterlets to mark the surface.

Prior to formal naming by the IAU in 1979, Guillaume was called Crater 73.
