The Base is a neo-Nazi group and paramilitary training network formed in 2018 by Rinaldo Nazzaro. The group espouses accelerationist and white nationalist ideology. It is active in the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and Europe, and designated as a terrorist organization in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union.

The organization's founder was a former employee of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Pentagon. The organization was originally based on Nazzaro's off-the-grid land in Washington state, but he soon migrated to Russia and started directing the group's activities from there.
