Bassettia pallida is a species of gall wasp found in the Southern United States.

The parasite Euderus set, a eulophid wasp, has B. pallida as a host and manipulates its behavior.

William Harris Ashmead described this species in 1896 based on a female specimen in the National Museum of Natural History.

The head, antennae, thorax and legs are a brownish yellow color, while the posterior tibiae and eyes are dark brown and the abdomen is a polished black.

[4] Mature B. pallida come out of the galls in March or April,[2] coinciding with the production of new leaves on the oak.
