Formigine (Modenese: ) is a town and comune in the province of Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. As of 2023, Formigine had an estimated population of 34,406.

==History== Formigine originates from the foundation of its castle in 1201 by the Comune of Modena, as a defence against Reggio Emilia, during a war started over the control of the waters to convey to the many canals departing from the river Secchia. In 1395 Niccolò III d'Este gave it in fiefdom to Marco Pio, lord of Carpi.
