Modisimus is a genus of cellar spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1893.

== Description == Spiders of the genus Modisimus have six eyes, unlike the eight typical of spiders. While some other pholcid genera also have six eyes, Modisimus differs from them in the prosoma having a median furrow and the eyes being situated on a turret (this turret is very high in males).
