The Modistae (Latin for Modists), also known as the speculative grammarians, were the members of a school of grammarian philosophy known as Modism or speculative grammar, active in northern France, Germany, England, and Denmark in the 13th and 14th centuries. Their influence was felt much less in the southern part of Europe, where the somewhat opposing tradition of the so-called "pedagogical grammar" never lost its preponderance.

La scuola modista (in latino: Modista, Modistae) fu un orientamento filosofico attivo nel nord della Francia, in Germania, in Inghilterra e in Danimarca fra il XIII e il XIV secolo. I suoi esponenti studiarono e insegnarono una nuova disciplina chiamata grammatica speculativa, che consisteva in una riflessione teoretica sulla grammatica, principalmente di lingua latina. La loro eredità storica si diffuse nel Nord Europa, laddove nei Paesi mediterranei continuò a prevalere la cosiddetta grammatica pedagogica.
