Voiteg (; ; ) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of two villages: Folea and Voiteg (commune seat).
== Etymology == Over time, the settlement has been known by many names. On one hand, several versions of Hungarian origin have been recorded: Vejte, Veytech, Veytsch, Wejtech, Wech, and Veycech. On the other hand, there are also German variants: Woiteg, Wojteg, Woitek, Wojtek, Voitek, and finally Voiteg. Under Romanian administration, beginning in 1924, the village was also given the name Voivodeni. Adding to this diversity, the railway station bears the name Voiteni—a designation increasingly adopted by locals when referring to the commune. == Geography == The Voiteg commune is situated in the Banat Plain, with an average elevation of 85–90 meters. The terrain is flat and characterized by plains.
