Basaa (also spelled Bassa, Basa, Bissa), or Mbene, is a Bantu language spoken in Cameroon by the Basaa people. It is spoken by about 300,000 people in Centre and Littoral regions.

Maho (2009) lists North and South Kogo as dialects.

Basaa contrasts four tones: high, low, high-to-low (falling) and low-to-high (rising).
