João Othavio Basso (born 13 January 1997) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Santos.
Born in Curitiba, Paraná, Basso joined Paraná Clube's youth categories from Andraus, after representing Atlético Paranaense.[1] He made his first team debut on 28 November 2015, coming on as a late substitute for Carlão in a 1–1 Série B away draw against Sampaio Corrêa.[2]
Basso was definitely promoted to the main squad by head coach Claudinei Oliveira on 9 February 2016,[3] and started to become a regular starter for the club during the year's Série B under Marcelo Martelotte, but as a defensive midfielder.[4]
On 24 August 2016, Basso moved abroad and was announced at Portuguese Primeira Liga side Estoril Praia.[5] He made his debut for the club on 26 October, starting in a 1–0 away loss against Moreirense, for the season's Taça da Liga.[6]

On 27 July 2017, after just one more match, Basso was loaned to LigaPro side Real Massamá, for one year.[8] He scored twice in 23 appearances overall for the club, before returning to Estoril and being mainly utilized in the under-23 team.
On 31 August 2019, Basso signed for Arouca in the Campeonato de Portugal.[9] An immediate starter, he contributed with the club's two consecutive promotions, and renewed his contract until 2024 on 19 August 2022.[10]
Basso acted as team captain during the 2022–23 campaign,[11] as Arouca qualified to the UEFA Europa Conference League.
On 31 July 2023, Basso returned to his home country after agreeing to a three-and-a-half-year contract with Santos in the Série A.[12] He made his debut for the club on 5 August, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Athletico Paranaense.
