Lubbock is a small lunar crater on the west edge of Mare Fecunditatis. It is located to the north of the Gutenberg crater, and south of Secchi crater. The Lubbock crater is circular, with a low rim and flat interior. There is a small break in the eastern wall.
On the mare to the south of the patch of highland containing Lubbock is the rille system designated Rimae Goclenius. The parallel rays from the Messier crater pair reaches the rim of 'Lubbock H' to the north.
