Guyot is a lunar crater on the Moon's far side. It is separated from Kostinskiy crater to the northeast by only a few kilometers of rough terrain. To the west-southwest lies Lobachevskiy crater and the to the east-southeast is Ostwald crater.
This is a worn and eroded crater with an outer rim that has been somewhat distorted in shape due to nearby impacts. Several small craterlets lie along the rim and the sides. The interior floor has also been marked by impacts, including an eroded formation occupying the northwestern portion.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Guyot crater.
