Banloc (; ; Banat Swabian: Paanlack; ) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of four villages: Banloc (commune seat), Ofsenița, Partoș and Soca.
== Etymology == The name Banloc was originally born by the fusion of two words: the name of the god Pan and the word "loc" (place), "Pan's place". Later, when "pan" became "ban", it kept the original meaning of a master. The Panloc castle became the Banloc castle, name preserved until now. There is a bas-relief above one of the access doors in the basement of the castle, bas-relief depicting the god Pan playing the syrinx. Also, statues in the form of fauns used to guard the alleys of the park; fragments of these are currently held at the Museum of Banat in Timișoara, along with several other statues of the same origin.
