Abramo Basevi (December 1818 – November 1885) was an Italian musicologist and composer.
He founded the Beethoven Matinées (1859), which developed into the Società del Quartetto, a source of influence upon the musical life of Florence and Italy in general.
Basevi offered an annual prize in this connection for the best string quartet.
In 1863 Basevi founded the Concerti Popolari di Musica Classica.
He was a frequent contributor to musical periodicals, and was the author of Studio sulle Opere di G. Verdi (1859), Introduzione ad un Nuovo Sistema d'Armonia (1862), and Compendio della Storia della Musica (1866).
