Niemodlin (; ) is a town in Opole County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland, with 6,315 inhabitants (2019).

== History == thumb|left|Niemodlin Castle, built in 1313 The community was first mentioned as Nemodlin in a 1224 deed and received town privileges in 1283. The German place-name Falkenberg was first recorded in the year 1290. Originally a part of the Duchy of Opole, after the death of Duke Bolko I, Niemodlin became the capital of a duchy in his own right from 1313 to 1382. When the Opole line of the Piast dynasty became extinct in 1532, various noble families like the Hohenzollern, the House of Zierotin, and the Pražma held the estate (also known as Falkenberg) until the 1940s.
