Bisinus, Basinus, Besinus, or Bisin (Lombardic : Pisen) was the king of the Thuringii (fl. c. 460 \endash 506/510).

According to Gregory of Tours , he supplied refuge from Childeric I , the Frankish king who was exiled by his own people. His wife, Basina , left him for Childeric and the two returned to Tournai together, after eight years.

The historical Bisinus bears some resemblance to the Bisinus of Gregory, but the details are different. Bisinus was the leader of a Thuringian confederation on the Rhine and his wife was a Lombard named Menia. He left three sons, Baderic , Herminafred , and Berthachar , who inherited the throne from him. His daughter Radegund married the Lombard king Wacho .

Bisinus married Basina Princess of Thuringia Queen of Franks [5954] [MRIN: 551617567], daughter of Basin Thuringian king [61326] and Basina Saxon princess [61327]. (Basina Princess of Thuringia Queen of Franks [5954] died after 496.)
