Winterbourne Bassett is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, about 6 miles (10 km) southwest of Swindon and 7 miles (11 km) northwest of Marlborough.

Winterbourne Bassett elects a joint parish council with the larger adjacent parish of Broad Hinton - see Broad Hinton and Winterbourne Bassett. It falls within the area of the Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which is responsible for all significant local government functions.

The 14th-century Church of England parish church of St Katherine and St Peter is Grade I listed.

A Methodist chapel was built in 1904 and sold in 1960.

There was a small school in the village from 1875 to 1966; primary school children now go to Broad Hinton.

The village has a public house and restaurant called The White Horse.
