Piazza Fratelli Rosselli, better known as Piazza della Vasca (lit.'Basin's Square'), is a public square in Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy.

Located outside the Medicean walls in the immediate area beyond Porta Nuova, the square is officially dedicated to the brothers Carlo and Nello Rosselli but is commonly referred to as "della Vasca" ("of the Basin") due to the semicircular fountain at its center, which effectively serves as a traffic roundabout. The circular square is surrounded by monumental architectural complexes, such as the Palazzo del Governo, the Palazzo delle Poste, and the Cosimini multipurpose building.

Five roads converge and depart from the square, connecting the city center with various parts of Grosseto.[1]
