The Villa dei Sette Bassi (also Villa Via Tuscolana) is an archaeological site located in Rome, Italy.

The site is located at the fifth mile of Via Tuscolana to the southeast of Rome and forms part of the Appian Way Regional Park. It was the second-largest villa in the suburbs of Ancient Rome after that of Quintiles.The name, known since the Middle Ages, is derived from Septimius Basso, prefect under the Emperor Septimius Severus (193–211), and a possible owner of the villa. The site, however, dates back to Antoninus Pius (138–161) and was inhabited until the beginning of the fourth century, and maintained by additional restorations for two more centuries.
