Busseto (Bussetano: ; Parmigiano: ) is a comune in the province of Parma, in Emilia-Romagna in Northern Italy with about inhabitants. Its history is quite well documented back to the 10th century, and for almost five hundred years it was the capital of Stato Pallavicino, which eventually became part of the Duchy of Parma.

==Etymology== The first written sources give the name as "Buxetum" in the early twelfth century. As such it appears the town's name is cognate with: buxus as in common box, buxus sempervirens, cognate with places such as Bushey; or busetum – a shott, fold or pen (fenced clearing) for oxen, cognate with places such as Oxpens.
