Haito (or Hatto or Heito) (764 – 17 March 836) was the bishop of Basel from 802 and simultaneously abbot of Reichenau Abbey from 806.

==Life== Haito was born in 764. At the age of five, along with his brother Wadilcoz, he entered the Abbey of Reichenau, on an island in Lake Constance. Abbot Waldo (786-806) made him head of the monastic school, and in this capacity he did much for the instruction and classical training of the monks, as well as for the growth of the library. The Abbey gained influence in the Carolingian dynasty by educating the clerks who staffed Imperial and ducal chanceries.
