Christopher Bassnett (1677 – 22 July 1744) was an English nonconformist minister.
He entered Richard Frankland's Rathmell Academy as student for the Presbyterian ministry on 1 April 1696.
He was an intimate friend of Matthew Henry, who says in a manuscript diary, 20 July 1709, "recommended Mr. Basnet to Liverpool", and 1 August "he is inclined to accept."
He ministered to the congregation at Kaye or Key Street, Liverpool, then included in the Warrington presbyterian classis (meeting-house opened on 24 Nov. 1707).
He assisted in establishing a school for the free education of poor children in Liverpool in 1716.
