Ralph Basset (died 1265), was an English baronial leader.[1]

Basset was lord of Drayton in Staffordshire, and, joining the baronial party against 
Henry III, was appointed by them custos pacis (keeper of the peace) for Shropshire 
and Staffordshire on 7 June 1264, and was summoned to Simon de Montfort's 
parliament on 4 December 1264 as Ralph Basset "de Drayton". He fell at the battle of 
Evesham by De Montfort's side on 4 August 1265, having refused, when urged by him, 
to seek safety in flight.[1]

His lands were forfeited for rebellion, but restored to his widow Margaret, as the 
daughter of a royalist, Roger de Someri.[1]

He was the father of Ralph Basset, 1st Lord Basset of Drayton and Maud, who married 
John Grey, 2nd Baron Grey de Wilton.
