Anicius Auchenius[1] Bassus (fl. 408) was a politician of the Roman Empire. In 408, he was appointed consul.[2] According to B. L. Twyman, he represents the "mainline" of the gens Anicia.[3]

Bassus was probably the son of the Anicius Auchenius Bassus who was praefectus urbi in 382–383 and of Turrenia Honorata. He had a son, also called Anicius Auchenius Bassus, consul in 431.[4] He wrote the epigraph for the tomb of Monica, Augustine of Hippo's mother.[5] The actual stone on which it was written was rediscovered in 1945 in the church of Santa Aurea, in Ostia Antica.[6]
