The **State Archives of Modena** ([Italian](/source/Italian_language): *Archivio di Stato di Modena*) is a public archival institution located in [Modena](/source/Modena), [Emilia-Romagna](/source/Emilia-Romagna), Italy. It preserves historical records produced by the governmental and administrative institutions that operated in the [province of Modena](/source/Province_of_Modena) as part of the national archival network administered by the [Italian Ministry of Culture](/source/Ministry_of_Culture_(Italy)).

The archive was established in 1874 following the reorganization of the Italian archival system after the [unification of Italy](/source/Unification_of_Italy).
