Modalen is a municipality in the county of Hordaland, Norway. Modalen was separated from Hosanger on 1 January 1910. The middle part of Eksingedalen was transferred from Modalen to Vaksdal on 1 January 1964.
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the farm Mo (Old Norse Mór), since the first church was built there. The name is identical with the word mór which means “heath” or “moor”. The last element -dalen (the finite form of dal which means “valley” or “dale”) was added later.
The coat-of-arms is from modern times. They were granted on 2 November 1984. The arms show three spades as a symbol for the agriculture and sand digging in the municipality, which historically were of great importance.
