Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut (Hebrew: מודיעין־מכבים־רעות, romanized: Mōdīʿīn-Makkabbīm-Rēʿūt), usually referred to as just Modi'in, is a city in the Central District of Israel, about 35 kilometres (22 mi) southeast of Tel Aviv and 30 kilometres (19 mi) west of Jerusalem, and is connected to those two cities via Highway 443. In 2024 the population was 100,052. The population density in that year was 1,794 people per square kilometer.

The modern city, which was built in the 20th century, is named after the ancient Jewish town of Modi'in, which existed in the same area. Modi'in was the place of origin of the Maccabees, the Jewish rebels who freed Judea from the rule of the Seleucid Empire and established the Hasmonean dynasty, events commemorated by the holiday of Hanukkah.

A small part of the city (the Maccabim neighborhood) is not recognized by the European Union (EU) as being in Israel, as it lies in what the 1949 Armistice Agreement with Jordan left as a no man's land, and was occupied in 1967 by Israel after it was captured from Jordan together with the West Bank proper.
