Hi I need to get this vent/pipe replaced but I don’t know what it is called. Can anyone identify it for me. It’s in my basement near the furnace.

You'd need cast couplings: (ebay, Smith Blair Industrial Ad)
It's an outside air (intake, probably, but you don't specify direction of airflow.)
Can be a simple system that forces some ventilation by bringing in fresh air all the time, can be a more complex system that alters the amount of outside air with a damper depending on the temperature inside, and outside, and called for by the thermostat (ie, so that you don't run the AC to cool off the house when you could just suck in cool air from outside the house.)

Lacking context, it's either a cleanout (normally at the bottom of a flue) or a disused thimble (place where a pipe used to connect to the flue) with a cover/plug in it (the half-rusted bit with the handle) - "cleanout cover" and "end cap" and "flue plug" are all possible names when searching. Add the diameter of the pipe/hole to narrow results towards ones that might actually fit.
