The Tomb of Hassan Modarres (Persian: آرامگاه سید حسن مدرس) is a Twelver Shi'ite Islamic mausoleum, located in Kashmar, in the province of Razavi Khorasan, Iran. The mausoleum contains the remains of Sayyid Hassan Modarres, a prominent Shi'ite cleric who formerly served as a cabinet representative of the Islamic Consultative Assembly. He was assassinated in 1937, and the mausoleum was built over his grave in 1943 CE following the forced abdication of Reza Shah Pahlavi.
The mausoleum was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 14 March 2005, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
