The Gallo-Italic of Basilicata ({{langx|it|Gallo-italico di Basilicata}}) is a group of Gallo-Italic dialects found in Basilicata in southern Italy,{{cite book|first=Gerhard|last=Rohlfs|title=Gallo-italienische Sprachinseln in der Basilicata|chapter=Zeit. roman. Phil.|language=de|issue=51|year=1931|pages=249–279}} that could date back to migrations from Northern Italy during the time of the Normans.

These dialects are found in two areas: one near the regional capital of Potenza (in Tito, Picerno, Pignola and Vaglio Basilicata), but not in Castelmezzano, and another on the Tyrrhenian coast (Trecchina, Rivello, Nemoli and San Costantino).{{cite book|first1=Patricia|last1=Bianchi|first2=Nicola|last2=De Blasi|first3=Franco|last3=Fanciullo|chapter=La Basilicata|editor=Manlio Cortelazzo|editor-link=Manlio Cortelazzo|title=I dialetti italiani.
