Shapley is a lunar crater that lies along the southern edge of Mare Crisium. It was previously designated Picard H before being given a name by the IAU. However the crater Picard lies about 150 kilometers to the north-northwest across the Mare Crisium. Somewhat closer to this crater are Tebbutt to the west and Firmicus to the east-southeast.This crater is roughly circular but appears somewhat oval when viewed from the Earth due to foreshortening.
