Basketo is one of the 79 woredas of the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples' Region of Ethiopia. Because Basketo is not part of any Zone in the SNNPR, it is considered a Special woreda, an administrative subdivision which is similar to an autonomous area. It is named after the Basketo people, whose homeland lies within its boundaries. Basketo is bordered on the south and west by the Debub Omo Zone, and on the north by the Gamo Gofa Zone. The administrative center is Laska; other towns include Donti.
