Busseto (Bussetano: ; Parmigiano: ) is a comune in the province of Parma, in Emilia-Romagna in Northern Italy with about inhabitants.

==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.
