La Basilicata (AFI: /baziliˈkata/) è una regione italiana a statuto ordinario dell'Italia meridionale con capoluogo Potenza. Conta 536 933 abitanti. È detta anche Lucania, denominazione che fu ufficiale dal 1932 al 1947 oltre a identificare anticamente una regione dai confini differenti, che inglobava gran parte di quella odierna. Confina a nord e a est con la Puglia, a nord e a ovest con la Campania, a sud con la Calabria, a sud-ovest è bagnata dal mar Tirreno (Golfo di Policastro) e a sud-est dal mar Ionio (Golfo di Taranto). È divisa in due province: Potenza e Matera, e comprende 131 comuni. I residenti della Basilicata sono noti come lucani e, in forme meno diffuse, basilicatesi o basilischi.
