Lampland is a crater on the far side of the Moon. It lies to the west-southwest of the crater Subbotin, and to the north-northwest of Eötvös. About four crater diameters to the north-northwest lies the prominent Tsiolkovskiy.
A small pit intrudes into the west-southwestern rim. A small, cup-shaped impact crater, Lampland A, lies along the northeast inner wall and part of the floor. The interior of Lampland is marked by several small craters which are located mostly in the southern half. There is a slightly darker patch of terrain in the southeast part of the interior.
