**Theodoros Modis** ([Greek](/source/Greek_language): Θεόδωρος Μόδης) was a [Greek](/source/Greeks) lumber merchant and scholar from [Monastiri](/source/Bitola) (modern Bitola, [North Macedonia](/source/North_Macedonia)).[1][2]

He was among those who helped the founders of the Revolutionary Internal Organization in its formation, in order to defend Greek interests in Macedonia (Ottoman Empire at the time.).[3] He was assassinated in his shop by [Bulgarian](/source/Bulgarians) [komitadji](/source/Komitadji) on September 4, 1904. His assassination, like the killing of [Pavlos Melas](/source/Pavlos_Melas) a month later, is among the violent events that marked the beginning of the [Macedonian Struggle](/source/Macedonian_Struggle) (*Μακεδονικός Αγώνας* in Greek).[4]

He is the grandfather of [Theodore Modis](/source/Theodore_Modis), the great-grandfather of [Yorgo Modis](/source/Yorgo_Modis), and the uncle of [Georgios Modis](/source/Georgios_Modis).
