The Modruš-Rijeka County (Croatian: Modruško-riječka županija; Hungarian: Modrus-Fiume vármegye) was a historic administrative subdivision (županija) of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia. Croatia-Slavonia was an autonomous kingdom within the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen (Transleithania), the Hungarian part of the dual Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its territory is now in western Croatia. Modruš is a small town near Ogulin; Rijeka is a large city on the Adriatic coast. However, Rijeka (then officially Fiume) was not part of the Modruš-Rijeka County, but under the direct administration of Hungary. The capital of the county was Ogulin.
The Modruš-Rijeka County shared borders with the Austrian lands Istria, Carniola and Bosnia-Herzegovina and the counties of Zagreb and Lika-Krbava (both in Croatia-Slavonia). The county had a strip of Adriatic Sea coast. Its area was 4879 km² around 1910.
