In object-oriented programming, classes are important because they allow you to model complex systems in a way that is both intuitive and modular. By encapsulating functionality within a class, you can create a clean, reusable design that promotes separation of concerns and reduces the complexity of your code.

Furthermore, the use of classes in Python allows for the creation of custom data types that can be used in a variety of ways.
