William Edward George Bassett (8 June 1912 – 1977) was a Welsh professional footballer.
During his career, he made over 200 appearances in the Football League in spells with Cardiff City and Crystal Palace.
Bassett began his career at Aberaman Athletic before moving on to Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1933.
He only spent a single season at Wolves, without making a first-team appearance, before returning to Wales and signing for manager Ben Watts-Jones at Cardiff City.
He joined Crystal Palace in 1938 but the outbreak of World War II interrupted his spell at the London side and he served in the Welsh Guards during the hostilities.
