Ralph Basset (sometimes Bassett;[1] died 1127) was a medieval English royal justice during the reign of King Henry I of England. He was a native of Normandy, and may have come to Henry's notice while Henry held land in Normandy prior to becoming king. Basset is first mentioned in documents about 1102, and from then until his death around 1127, he was frequently employed as a royal justice. His son Richard Basset also became a royal judge.

Both Cawley and Wikipedia (citing the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography) state that all that is known of Ralph's wife's name is the first initial, A. The wife tacked on here is given no source. Until sources are given, careful genealogists will give no credence to these relationships.
