McClure is a small lunar crater. It is located along the western edge of the Mare Fecunditatis, due east of the prominent Colombo crater. To the north of McClure is the similar Crozier crater, and to the southwest is the larger Cook crater. The outer rim is nearly circular and not significantly worn. The inner walls slope down to a somewhat irregular interior floor. 'McClure C' is attached to the exterior of the northwest rim.

Satellite craters

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 McClure crater.
