Dr Basil George von Brandis Melle (31 March 1891 – 8 January 1966) was a South African first-class cricketer who played as a right-handed batsman and bowled right-arm medium pace and later leg breaks. David Frith saw Melle as playing a role in the origins of bodyline bowling through his 'inswingers with three short-legs'. In 1911 Melle played single first-class matches for The Rest against Transvaal and for PT Lewis' XI against LJ Tancred's XI. Melle died at Johannesburg, Gauteng, on 8 January 1966.
