Gardner is a small lunar impact crater in the northeast part of the Moon. It lies due east of the crater Vitruvius in a section of rough terrain north of the Mare Tranquillitatis. This crater was previously designated Vitruvius A before being given its present name by the IAU. To the northeast of Gardner is the larger crater Maraldi. It is a circular crater with sloping inner walls and an interior floor that occupies about half the total crater diameter.
