'''Modulidae''', common name '''modulids''',<ref name="Strong 2011" /> is a family of small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Cerithioidea.<ref name="Bouchet 2005">{{Bouchet 2005}}</ref>

According to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) the family Modulidae has no subfamilies.
