Saint Bassus of Nice (179 ca. – 250 AD) is a 3rd-century Roman Catholic saint and martyr,^[1] traditionally the earliest named bishop of Nice.^[2]

He was active on the Côte d'Azur, and was martyred for his faith under the Emperor Decius by being burned with red-hot blades and pierced from head to feet by two large shipbuilding nails, one through each foot.^[3]

He is venerated as a saint. His feast day is 5 December. He is the patron saint of Cupra Marittima in Italy, where his body was taken after his death, and since 1922 or 1923 the second patron saint of Nice.^[4]
