A modular refrigerator including a main cabinet, and a sub-cabinet selectively coupleable to a right side, an upper side, and a left side, of the main cabinet. The main cabinet includes a cooling unit, a first connection duct for cold air generated by the cooling unit to flow toward the right side, a second connection duct for the cold air to flow toward the upper side, and a third connection duct for the cold air to flow toward the left side. The sub-cabinet includes a first branch duct that, when the sub-cabinet is coupled to the right side, communicates with the first connection duct, a second branch duct that, when the sub-cabinet is coupled to the upper side, communicates with the second connection duct, and a third branch duct that, when the sub-cabinet is coupled to the left side, communicates with third connection duct.
