Basilius Amerbach (December 1, 1533 - April 25, 1591) was a lawyer, professor, and collector from Basel. He was the only son of {{Interlanguage link multi|Bonifacius Amerbach|de}}. After studying law from 1549-1560, he became a law clerk at the Imperial Chamber Court in Speyer. During this time, Basilius surprised his father by choosing to live with Jacob zur Glocke, a goldsmith, rather than a lawyer.[1] After one year as a clerk, he became a professor at the University of Basel.

Upon Boniface's death in 1562, Basilius inherited his father's Kunstkammer, or "cabinet of curiosities."[2] He expanded the collection of artworks, antiques, coins, and wonders. His additions to the "Amerbach Cabinet" also included the equivalent of "the entire contents of at least two goldsmiths' workshops."[1] Basilius took an inventory of his collection in 1586, which contained such notable items as an alleged unicorn horn[1] and fifteen paintings by Hans Holbein the Younger.[2]

From 1588-91, Basilius participated in the excavation of the Augusta Raurica, a Roman archeological site near his home in Basel.[3] He was the first member of the group of humanists researching the site to identify the colony's amphitheatre.[1]

His collection has been on display at the Basel Historical Museum, originally called the Haus zur Mücke, since 1671.[4]
