    Gaius Trebonius Proculus Mettius Modestus was a Roman senator of the 2nd century AD who held a number of offices in the imperial service, as well as serving as suffect consul in 103 as the colleague of Marcus Flavius Aper.

    Modestus' immediate ancestors were his grandfather, Marcus Mettius Modestus, procurator of Syria, and his father Marcus Mettius Rufus, governor of Roman Egypt from the year 89 to 92, which made them prominent members of the equites order. His entrance into the Senate was facilitated by his uncle Mettius Modestus, suffect consul in 82.

    Two of the offices Modestus held are known. The first, as legatus pro praetore or governor of Lycia et Pamphylia, was from 99 to 102, or before he became consul. The locals memorialized his tenure by erecting a monumental triple-arched gate in Patara, Lycia which still stands. His second office was as proconsular governor of Asia in 119/120.
