Stebbins is a large lunar impact crater on the far side of the Moon. It is located along the north-northeastern rim of the even larger crater Birkhoff, with about one-third of Stebbins laid across the interior of Birkhoff. To the north of Stebbins is the smaller Hippocrates, and to the west is Sommerfeld.

This is a worn and eroded crater with smaller impacts along the rim edge and the interior. The most notable of these is a small crater across the northwestern rim. The interior floor is relatively flat, with a central ridge offset to the northeast of the midpoint. To the southeast of this ridge is a small craterlet, and to the southwest is a small hill and the outer rim of a partly submerged craterlet.
