Hevelius is a low-rimmed lunar crater that lies at the western edge of the Oceanus Procellarum named after the astronomer Johannes Hevelius. The smaller but prominent crater Cavalerius is joined to the northern rim by low ridges. Due south of Hevelius is the crater Lohrmann and the dark-hued Grimaldi.Only a low eroded rim of Hevelius rises above the surface. The western wall is overlain by several small impacts.
