Dorsum Buckland is a large wrinkle ridge at 20.4°N 12.8°E / 20.4; 12.8 in Mare Serenitatis on the Moon, 380 km long. It is named after British Geologist William Buckland. The feature was named by the IAU in 1976.

Dorsum Buckland's ridges are 200 to 300 meters high and were formed by compressional stresses near the center of the basin, possibly over buried basin structures.
