Nathan Bassett (born December 7, 1976) is an Australian rules footballer for the Adelaide Football Club of the Australian Football League. Known as "Bruce" Bassett

Picked up as a rookie by Melbourne in 1997, Bassett was elevated to the senior list during the season but was unable to make his AFL debut for the Demons due to a chest injury. At the end of the season he was traded to Adelaide, and has since become one of the Crow's best defenders. He has played more than 150 games for Adelaide and topped up a great 2005 season by being named Best Team Man and coming runner up in the Club's Best and Fairest award.

In 2006 Bassett was named to the All-Australian Team, along with his teammates Andrew McLeod and Simon Goodwin.

Some of Bassett's nicknames include The Hound, Bruce and Fred Basset - after the comic strip which appears in many Australian newspapers.

Bassett was named the number 1 ticket holder of South Australian Amateur Soccer League Division 2 club ISC Raptors in March 2008.
