In linguistics, the modal case (abbreviated MOD) is a grammatical case used to express ability, intention, necessity, obligation, permission, possibility, etc. It takes the place of English modal verbs such as can, could, would, might, may.

This case can be found in the Kayardild language and the other Tangkic languages of Northern Australia.
