'''Modzitz''', or '''Modzhitz''', is the name of a [[Hasidic Judaism|Hasidic]] group within [[Orthodox Judaism]] that derives its name from ''Modrzyce'', one of the boroughs of the town of [[Dęblin]], [[Poland]], located on the [[Vistula River]].

Followers of this group are known as Modzitzer Hasidim, and are now based mainly in [[Bnei Brak]] (where one of the current Modzitzer [[Rebbe#Hasidic Rebbe|Rebbes]] lives), and [[Jerusalem]], [[Israel]]. They also have a smaller following in the United States, in [[Brooklyn]] (where the other current Modzitzer Rebbe lives), [[Monsey, New York]], and [[Los Angeles]], and in [[Toronto]] in Canada.

The Modzitzer ''[[rebbe]]s'' are well known for their musical compositions, many of which were recorded by [[Ben Zion Shenker]]. The ''rebbes'' of Modzitz and their followers have composed over 4,000 ''[[nigun]]im''.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Hurvitz|first1=Nattan|author-link1=|last2=Hoffman|first2=Aharon Yosef|date=2015|orig-year=Originally published 2014 in Hebrew|chapter=Melodies of Modzitz|title=The Book of Amazing Facts and Feats|volume=4|others=Translated into English by Brocha David|publisher=[[Feldheim Publishers]]|page=22|isbn=978-1-59826-149-3}}</ref>
