Abstract: Texture zeros in fermion mass matrices have been widely considered in tackling the Standard Model flavour puzzle. In this work, we perform a systematic analysis of texture zeros in lepton mass matrices in the framework of $Gamm{a}_{3^{\prime }}cong{T}^{\prime }$ modular symmetry. Assuming that the lepton fields transform as irreducible representations of $T^{\prime }$, we obtain all possible texture-zero patterns for both charged-lepton and neutrino mass matrices which can be achieved from $T^{\prime }$ modular symmetry. We provide representative models for the phenomenologically-viable textures which can accommodate the experimental data. The predictions for lepton mixing angles, CP-violating phases, light neutrino masses and effective neutrino mass relevant for neutrinoless doble beta decay, are discussed. We find that the minimal viable lepton model depends on only $7$ real free parameters including the modulus $au$ (the corresponding charged-lepton mass matrix contains $4$ vanishing entries, and the neutrino mass matrix has $1$ texture zero). Finally, we study in detail three benchmark models, one for each neutrino mass generation mechanism considered (Dirac, Majorana via Weinberg operator and Majorana via minimal type-I seesaw mechanism).
