The Gallo-Italic of Basilicata (Italian: Gallo-italico di Basilicata) is a group of Gallo-Italic dialects found in Basilicata in southern Italy, that could date back to migrations from Northern Italy during the time of Normans.

These dialects are found in two areas: one near the regional capital of Potenza (in Tito, Picerno, Pignola and Vaglio Basilicata), and another on the Tyrrhenian coast (Trecchina, Rivello, Nemoli and San Costantino).

Similar communities have survived in Sicily, speaking "Gallo-italici di Sicilia" dialects.
