Pișchia ( or Piski; ; ) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of five villages: Bencecu de Jos, Bencecu de Sus, Murani, Pișchia (commune seat) and Sălciua Nouă.
== Geography == Pișchia is located in the north of Timiș County, north of Timișoara, in the contact area between Lipova Hills and Timis Plain. It covers an area of . == History == The first mentions of Pișchia appear in the papal tithe records of 1333, in which it is said that the Catholic priest Johannes of Pisky paid 18 kreutzers to the Catholic church. The old village was further south of today's Pișchia, between the Beregsău River and the Roman walls. During the Turkish rule of Banat, the locality decays, because in Marsigli's notes from 1690–1700 he does not mention it. At the census made by the Austrians in 1717, immediately after their conquest of Banat, the locality called Peschkan had only eight houses left.
