Mănăștiur (; ) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of four villages: Mănăștiur (commune seat), Pădurani, Remetea-Luncă and Topla. It is located in the contact area of the Lugoj Plain with the Lipova Plateau, on the upper course of the Bega River.
== History == thumb|left|Mănăștiur (Monostur) in the Josephinian Land Survey|Josephinische Landesaufnahme of 1769–1772 The first recorded mention of the toponym Mănăștiur dates from 1427, and in 1453 the actual settlement is recorded in the Hungarian royal documents as Monostor, located in Temes County. It is very possible that this name comes from the existence of a monastery, because everywhere in Transylvania where this name was taken over by a settlement, there was a monastery. What is certain is that a fortress was built here during this period, because in 1505 the village is mentioned as castellum Monosthor. The fortresses of Mănăștiur and Margina had the same captain who had taken the oath before Count Brandenburg, married to Beatrice, the widow of Matthias Corvinus. For a while, Mănăștiur did not belong to either Hungary or Transylvania, which is why in 1519 an order was issued by which it was annexed to Temes County.
