Jaša Tomić (Cyrillic: Јаша Томић, Hungarian: Módos) is a town located in the Sečanj municipality, in the Central Banat District of Serbia. It is situated in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. The town has a Serb ethnic majority and a population numbering 2,982 people (2002 census).

The town is named after Jaša Tomić (1856-1922) a Serb publicist and politician from Vojvodina. In Serbian Cyrillic, the town is known as Јаша Томић, in Serbian Latin and Croatian as Jaša Tomić, in German as Modosch, in Hungarian as Módos, in Romanian as Modoş, and in Banat Bulgarian as Modoš. The former name for the town used in the Serbian language was Modoš (Модош).

Formerly, Jaša Tomić was the seat of the municipality, but after World War II, the seat of the municipality was moved to Sečanj. However, even today, Jaša Tomić is the largest settlement in the municipality as well as the only settlement in the municipality with town status, Sečanj, the current seat of the municipality, being only a village.

In 2005, the town was devastated by floods.
