Bassett Green is a suburb of Southampton, in England, which has grown from the historical small village of Basset. It remains part of the electoral ward of Bassett (q.v. for population). The area is mainly residential, with a large variety of Herbert Collins-designed houses including the conservation area of Ethelburt Avenue and the Leaside Way Estate. Within Bassett Green are a wide variety of green spaces accompanied by a community centre (on Honeysuckle Road), Bassett Green Primary School and Southampton Crematorium, as well as several of the University of Southampton's halls of residence.

Neighbouring areas are Bassett to the west, North Stoneham to the north, Swaythling to the east & southeast, and Highfield to the southwest.

Bassett Green is divided between two ecclesiastical parishes: North Stoneham & Bassett and Swaythling.
